In this trimmed down podcast version of Tracks of My Life Toby is joined by Historian of the Ottoman Empire and disability consultant Yusuf Osman.
Through Yusuf’s Tracks of my Life we will go on a journey from school days at Dorton House School for blind and partially sighted children, feeling slightly out of place, being one of the only pupils  at the school whose parents came from a different country.  To then listening to cassette tapes of Turkish artists from his homeland on family car journeys including trips to and from boarding  school at Worcester  College with his Dad   .
Then we will come to a couple of rock tracks, one  marking  A level time at Worcester and the other a  very powerful track that means a lot to Yusuf when he was going through a slightly difficult time while studying at Harvard.
And  finally to a track about a 9th century Greek Orthodox  Abbess whose life has meaning and relevance for us today.
