Susmita Bhattacharya: "The next story on BBC Sounds is Letters Home. I used to teach English to Speakers of Other Languages in Cardiff. A really lovely school, but sometimes, the experiences of the refugees, asylum seekers and immigrants who were students there were hard to digest. They'd gone through so much to be here, and yet ... This story is inspired by my time working in that school, no actual experiences of the students are included. Maybe some of my experiences are included - maybe!"
