Before you listen to this BBC podcast, I'd like to quickly tell you about some others.

My name's Andy Martin and I'm the editor of a team of podcast producers at the BBC in Northern Ireland.

It's a job I really love because we get to tell the stories that really matter to people here,

but which also resonate and apply to listeners around the world.

And because the team has such a diverse

Miranda's been in Paris for two weeks, staying in a house where there are severe restrictions on her freedom.

We had to hand over our passports, mobile phones, credit cards, any other IDs.

And now, she's been transported to the apartment of the guru Gregorian Bivalaru himself.
