*Dispatches from the Nilgiris* is a five-part podcast series about a city-dweller discovering that life in the hills operates by very different rules. From unhurried notions of time and remarkably efficient gossip networks to tea estates, military communities and old-world clubs, the series explores the people, customs and quirks that make the Nilgiris unique. Told with humour, curiosity and affection, these are stories about belonging, transformation and finding home in unexpected places.
