Award winning photographer Marcus Bleasdale documents the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo in multimedia podcasts and presentations that are at once beautiful and disturbing. In this interview Marcus talks about what life was like in the DRC, a country where conflict has claimed over 4 million lives since 1998, and explains why he's taken to podcasting. Marcus was speaking from Norway, en route to his new assignment in Somalia.


Thanks to Graham of the Frontline Club put me in touch with Marcus. They've just launched a new blog by a soldier deployed to Afghanistan which promises to be an interesting read.
