Episode 94 is with Aarti Joshi who is Head of Marketing at DF Concerts. Overseeing communications for TRNSMT, Gigs in Scotland and King Tut’s, her passion for live music led her from the PR world, where her career began, into events. Aarti also co-manages the band The LaFontaines, DJs as one of half of Pretty Ugly Club Nights and sits on the board of Scottish Women Inventing Music. You’d be forgiven for thinking that she’s found an 8th day of the week, but it’s Aarti’s energy and passion for music and the industry that simply drives her to get in there and get the job done.

Expect lots of laughter and some seriously great stories. Enjoy!

Episode 92 is in conversation with paracanoe athlete Hope Gordon. Making the transition from competitive swimming, she has embraced many of the opportunities that have come her way since having her leg amputated in 2016. Suffering from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome as a teenager, Hope crowdfunded for her amputation and a few weeks post-op took on a cycling challenge in Dubai...having only ridden a bike once in her life. An ambassador for charity, Finding Your Feet, her determination and zest for life is truly inspiring.

Episode 89 is in conversation with Fashion and Culture Historian Casci Ritchie who with a degree and two masters under her belt, is truly dedicated to her passion. Her love affair with costume, clothing, film and music extends to her knowledge and real admiration for the artist Prince. What Casci doesn’t know about Prince isn’t worth knowing, with academic papers, presenting at conventions and most recently in a published book in her list of achievements thus far. Consider this episode an education!

Episode 87 is in conversation with Creative Producer at Scottish Youth Theatre, Mahri Reilly and actor, director and theatre maker, Melanie Jordan currently working with a cast of 20 young people and other theatre professionals to ‘digitally reimagine’ National Ensemble’s touring production in response to the Covid 19 crisis. Creating a new site-specific piece about climate change, Melanie gives great insight into the devising process via Zoom, what audiences can look forward to from this radical new piece of live performance and Mahri explains how Scottish Youth Theatre are adapting to change in order to keep young people engaged and connected through the arts.

“The world is burning. It is flooding. There is drought, famine and pollution. Time is running out to deal with the climate emergency. Whilst catastrophe looms it is our young people fighting back, fighting for their future and for yours. Join Scottish Youth Theatre’s National Ensemble as they take on one of the greatest challenges of our time – climate justice – in a new production, Once You See the Smoke. The National Ensemble invite you to join the fight and forge a better, more just future for society.”

Episode 86 is in conversation with poet Jane Bonnyman (the first poet to feature on the podcast). Studying English at university and becoming an English teacher, her love of stories and the escapism it provided as a child, paved the the way for becoming a wordsmith. From being on the wrong writing retreat to some seriously bad dates, Jane explains what life is really like for a poet in 2020 and so brilliantly documents her journey into writing, the pitfalls and the highlights of a career in the poetry world and what inspired her produce her published collections thus far.
