This episode is a talk between Seamas Carey of The Reason Why podcast and me, Alasdair Satchel, of What We Do in the Winter which explores the nature of our podcasting work.
Seamas’ podcast The Reason Why was released in the spring of 2022. It consists of 10 themed episodes and two live episodes which round the project off.
It explores the social issues, hidden history and culture wars of contemporary Cornwall.
What We Do in the Winter is an oral history podcast about the lives of the people of the Isles of Mull, Iona, Ulva, Gometra, Erraid and Little Colonsay.
The conversation you’re about to hear took place in An Tobar, Tobermory on the 4th of October 2023 in front of a live audience.
It came about thanks to Rhona Dougall and Nina Pope where were at the time of recording the curators of the visual arts programme at An Tobar Mull Theatre.
Sound at the event was by Louise Gregory and Tim Olden.
