[EXEC PRODUCER - Immersive article exploring AlUla's Old Town]

More than 900 mud-brick homes form a densely packed maze of hundreds of narrow streets and covered alleys. This architectural approach was used in centuries past to create a sense of security and community. “You can go around in the town and see the labyrinthic way the houses were connected to each other continuously,” says Hatoon Alfassi, a Saudi historian and Honorary Fellow at Manchester University in the UK.

Ethical vines | The Wine Society

(Writer) We all love a good deal, especially when the wallet is feeling a bit light. But cheaper goods often carry hidden costs. For better or worse we live within a system that encourages maximum profit by keeping production high, expenses low, and finding a ‘sweet spot’ price point that’s accessible (to most).

Wine in a warming world | The Wine Society

(Writer) The climate crisis is changing the world of wine. Viticulture is one of the most sensitive agricultural practices, and record-breaking temperatures, unpredictable weather extremes, excessive droughts and raging wildfires are disrupting harvests in critical winemaking regions. Prosecco, for example, grown in tricky hillside and steep-slope landscapes in Northern Italy, could be wiped out due to the complex challenges of a rapidly warming world. At the same time, weather that makes for favourable...
