Bosnian bomb disposal officer Sead Vrana has to detect and dispose of a powerful anti-tank warhead hidden high in the mountains above Sarajevo, on the former front line of the Bosnian War.

Episode two of a new series of immersive features which allow the listener to step into the world of a compelling character with an extraordinary job. Recorded in binaural stereo using the latest recording techniques for a rich, lifelike and intimate sound. Subjects wear a small microphone in each ear, picking up sound just like the human ear. Whatever they hear, we hear - how they hear it. The series is best heard on headphones.

In this episode we inhabit the world of Bosnian explosive ordnance technician Sead Vrana as he searches for an anti tank weapon. Vrana defused his first landmine at the age of just seventeen as a young soldier in the Bosnian Army, in the early days of the Bosnian War. Over two decades later, we're with him every step of the way as he executes the dangerous task of detecting and disposing of a warhead that could rip through 40cm of steel.
