Our second podcast features Peter Burnett, who takes us on an entertaining and illuminating trip through the curious world of crisps, inspired by his master work "The Supper Book", an annotated list of everything he ate and drank in one year. The West Port is Edinburgh’s Soho, a heady mix of booze, bosoms, bespoke tailoring and BOOKS. It would almost be churlish not to celebrate this profusion of pages so we run an annual book festival that plays out over 11 wonderful West Port venues, ranging from singular second-hand bookshops to crisp art spaces and whisky-scented pubs. http://westportbookfestival.org Incidental music is the track "Trouble Scene" from MWD, http://www.budabeats.com/bube007.htm

Eleanor Thom’s debut novel, The Tin-Kin, is a fictional story based on photos, artefacts and memories of Eleanor’s mother’s travelling family. Eleanor tells us about the story behind the book and the travelling culture, blending a mixture of readings, audio and chat.
