Enjoyed talking to @asianaffairs.bsky.social yesterday on Lorimer and his Gazetteer. Some excellent questions at the end, including a counter factual about what if Lorimer hadn’t died in Bushire. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1s0...

With apologies to the postman, but Medina Publishing have pulled it out of the bag again. If you’ve ever used Lorimer’s gazetteer then please do consider understanding more about the man,his work and how the gazetteer helped shape the Gulf.

Truly amazed to hear that Imago Productions won a Saudi Media Excellence award last night for their ‘Heritage’ documentary series. Well deserved! I really enjoyed supporting their research and ultimately being a key speaker in the first episode. Here’s the link youtu.be/T6pllKhGGGQ
