On 4 August 2020, a massive explosion destroyed the port of Beirut. It's impact was felt across the city, reaching the Archaeological Museum of the American University of Beirut (AUB). The pressure from the explosion shattered a glass display at the museum holding 74 glass vessels, mainly Roman with a few Byzantine and Islamic. The team at the AUB collected the shards from the floor, separated them and sent eight of the broken vessels to the UK. And so began the journey of collaboration between Lebanon and England to restore these ancient vessels at the British Museum. Janay Boulos, a Lebanese BBC News journalist, follows the journey of restoring these vessels and they become a symbol of Beirut, broken into pieces, scarred, and slowly being restored to its formal glory.

I feel the vibe.
I need to feed off activity.
I want people's senses to be engaged in the studio.
In the studio.
In the studio.
Symmetrical.

Okay, how do we make this thing?
I'm Jean Lee.
And I'm Jeff White.
And we're back with a brand new episode of our podcast, the Lazarus Heist, recorded in front of a live audience in New York City.

And we're returning soon with a second season.
So what better moment to listen to the whole of season one, or if you've heard it already, listen again.
