Akbar narrates his travels from Pakistan, through the Khyber Pass, and into Jalalabad and Kabul. He describes various aspects of the area. Included, but not limited to, are the chaotic driving environment, post-conflict devastation, marketplaces, the reaction of locals to seeing someone with a microphone, interactions with family and important family friends, the hotel in Kabul, and his personal trip from San Francisco to Afghanistan. Throughout, Akbar is interested in recording ambient noises.

The sound quality is good, but there is significant background noise throughout. Though Akbar narrates in English, he often interacts with locals in the native language.
