Welcome to The Halifax Arts Podcast for April 2020. It’s a special episode of the podcast that has been designed for anyone living in the Calder Valley, who loves the arts but who finds themself spending a bit more time at home than they normally would during this time of the Coronavirus. Jeremy Walker, Judy Green and Steve Archer will be talking about some new films that you can stream in the comfort of your living room as well as chat about some older films that were made right here in Calderdale. Alex Abel has been talking to local writer and performer Emma Decent as well as hearing all about a new project called Arts Drop from Gilly Bryerley of the local charity The Creative Learning Guild. Janet Warham will be reflecting upon the theme of isolation in literature and we also have two pieces of self-isolation-themed poetry, written and performed by Rosi Gemmel.
