BBC Asian Network - Group Chat

We speak to the ladies behind the brand new Deep, Down and Desi podcast Fresh to Death.

We speak to Saima Thompson and Maleena Pone about their new podcast Fresh to Death.

Restaurateur Saima Thompson is living with a terminal diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer and filmmaker Maleena Pone lost her teenage brother to leukaemia and father to a sudden heart attack.

Together, they explore their own perspective of being British Asian women dealing with death - and speak to others with a range of unique perspectives, from will writing to funerals, mental health to cultural traditions.
