Today Elaine chats to poet and Storyteller Laura Thurlow about her new show River Time. We talk about the inspiration for the show, how women aren't allowed to grow old and still be beautiful as well as touching on discovering something about yourself that changes everything. River Time- Greenside@Riddles Court - Picles Studio Dates: 9th - 24th August @ 1.45 pm Tickets available here: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/river-time River Time River Time! pulls its title from one of the show's opening anecdotes. As a student in Edinburgh with unmanaged ADHD, Laura would often go for a night out on the Cowgate, perceive someone as looking at her wrong, become paranoid that her friends secretly despised her, and have a meltdown. To regulate these intense emotions, she would take moonlit walks at 4am along the water of Leith. To this day, if she texts a friend River Time, they know that she means her brain is on fire. A little understood aspect of ADHD is the resulting impact of the Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria that sits alongside it. These mood swings, this intense fear of rejection, are felt in the body as intense emotional pain. Laura's fear of rejection takes her to the river, calls her to the sea, begs her to submit to the absolution of dark waters. Better to be a beautiful corpse than a failed woman. Laura's brain is ruining her life and plotting her death. This is a one-woman treatise on deciding not to drown. River Time! discusses Hamlet's Ophelia and the life and loss of Virginia Woolf. Laura tells anecdotes of rejection and desperation – feeling adrift in one's own mind. She speaks on grief, and guilt through describing the loss of a friend who did not survive their messy student days. The show is a dark storytelling hour from a gifted comedic voice. It is nuanced and entertaining while inherently and enduringly relatable. Come along and take some River Time! Laura Thurlow Laura Cathryn Thurlow is a writer and performer based in Scotland, originally from Canada with experience performing across Europe. Her previous show, ‘A Preoccupation with Romantic Love' received critical and audience praise in Edinburgh and Camden in 2023 and was nominated for an Emerging Artist Award with The Neurodiverse Review. Laura's recent credits include being a finalist at the European Slam Final held by Commonword (Manchester), and at the Glasgow Women's Library's ‘Calm Slam', and Scottish National qualifying slams at Candlelight Open Mic & The Poetry Experiment. She has recently been a featured performer with both The Loud Poets and Spoken Word Paris. She is currently completing a Master of Literature at the University of Glasgow.

Welcome to the very first CILIP Scotland Podcast takeover, featuring the CILIPS Students and New Professionals Community! Taking the reins in the podcast studio for the first time, Chaeli, Matthew and Filipa were keen to share with the audience their reflections on starting their professional career in the Library and Information sector post-graduation. Defacto host for the episode Chaeli Brown is currently an Information Scientist at ThinkAnalytics. Matthew Ferrie has entered into his first role as Information Assistant at the Craiglockhart Library at Edinburgh Napier University. Both Matthew and Chaeli are Events Coordinators for the SNPC, having ran events such as an interview tips event with Falkirk Libraries, and library tour with Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons and Glasgow Women's Library alongside the CILIPS Local Studies group LocScot. Filipa Pedroso is currently spending her time post-graduation in School Libraries as a Graduate Library Assistant in London. She is the former Social Media Coordinator for SNPC. All three are experiencing very different fields of library work, and in this conversation they bring out the parallels of their work (namely frustration with printers), and how they've translated the skills and knowledge gathered through their degrees to practical applications and people skills. If you'd like to find out more about SNPC, you can find them on Instagram: @cilips_snpc Twitter/X: @CILIPS_SNPC, or by emailing: snpc@cilips.org.uk. Thank you to Chaeli, Matthew and Filipa for their contribution to the episode! Thanks for tuning in!

To paraphrase Boy George in a potentially racially insensitive 1980's charity record “throw your arms around the Saints, it's Levein Time!” The Saints are on the rise, Santa's on his way, and we're all going to be living it large as we rattle off four away wins on the spin over the festive season. So why not get yourselves right into the spirit of things, by settling down for Episode 93 of The Dogger Saints Podcast! Many a game of kickball to cover since we last did this nonsense, with 5 (FIVE) games to cover from Levein's Champagne Football Merchants, starting with the defeats against Hearts and Celtic, before the resurgent Saints struck back in style against St. Mirren, Motherwell and Hibs. We also have a look ahead to the January transfer window, and look at the impact of 16 year old wonderboy Fran Franczak. We also have a look at the slightly more mixed fortunes of the Saints Women's team, as we cover their four recent games against Livi, Glasgow Women, Gartcairn and Boroughmuir Thistle, and at various points kindly catch up with gaffers Kev Candy and Jamie Reynolds, and players Bex Robertson, Ellie May Cowie and Steffi Simson. Man that is a lot of Champagne Football, but we know what you're really here for - features baby! We take a trip to see our old pal George, as the Dogger Saints Podcast's own Sam Miller provides two options, both of which face disqualification. However we also give our mental health a kicking by taking another trip to the Banto, Dan unveils his Christmas song, and we have a very special Big Fat Saints Quiz of the Year for all to join in with! We have our first interview for a while, but boy is it a good one, as we're joined by Saints Chief Executive and all round top fellow Stan Harris - who kindly gifted us his first interview in the role, only for us to lose the first five minutes. However, once resolved we have a tremendous chat covering all things surrounding Saints, Levein, offending pop megastars, and bingo attending budgies. You absolutely do not want to miss this. Sam Miller tells a festive nonce joke! Danny Williams struggles to talk to girls! A waffle soften sleigh! We've got all this, and much more, so get yourselves comfy, grab a mince pie and come join us for a real Christmas Cracker of an episode. A very merry Christmas to one and all, from your two favourite wankstains. Get there!
This week on Talk Livi, Euan and Angus discuss Livi's away defeats to Hearts and Dundee as the Lions were left goalless and pointless from their travels. Next up, the lads discuss our women's side as they were in action against Glasgow Women and would secure a comfortable 3 points in West Lothian. Finally, the lads look ahead to Rangers visiting the Tony Macaroni Aena live in front of the Sky Sports cameras. Sponsored by Stjärna Apparel.
It's day two of the 72-hour joint strike by junior doctors and consultants in the NHS. Dr Helen Neary, deputy chair of the BMA's consultant's committee and consultant anaesthetist in paediatrics and BBC's Health Correspondent Nick Triggle joins Emma to discuss the strike and parts of the Health Secreatary's speech today Nicknamed the Taylor Swift of classical music, Anna Lapwood is one of the world's most famous organists, and Director of Music at Pembroke College, Cambridge. To encourage more women to try the instrument, Anna initiated the social media hashtag #playlikeagirl. She joins Emma to talk about her music and her new album Luna. Máiría Cahill grew up in a staunchly Republican family and community in west Belfast. At the age of 16 she says she was serially sexually assaulted and raped by a member of the IRA, and was later subjected to months of meetings about that trauma by the IRA, including being brought face to face with her alleged attacker. In 2014 Máiría waived her anonymity and has been relentless in her campaign to expose those who abused their power, and to get an apology for the way she was treated from senior Sinn Fein politicians. Máiría has written a memoir, Rough Beast, and joins Emma to talk about it. Glasgow Women's Library is the UK's only accredited woman's history museum. For the last 32 years they've championed feminist stories from Scotland and beyond through their research, exhibitions and artefacts that have all been donated. However, for the first time they're entering an auction to bring a piece of Scottish suffragette history back home. Emma Barnett speaks to operations director Sue John on the day of the auction.

Inspired by Glasgow Women's Library's 30th anniversary celebrations and their Open the Door Literary Festival, Open Book's latest theme is Protest. Reading Jackie Kay's powerful 'A Life in Protest', written in response to Ingrid Pollard's work and 2021 exhibition 'No Cover Up', and Eloise Greenfield's thought-provoking 'Jinny's Freedom', Claire and Marjorie question how far we've come, how far we've yet to go, and the intergenerational impact of ongoing protest. -- Open Book Unbound Episode 58 – 2 October 2023 Hosts: Claire Urquhart and Marjorie Lotfi Producer: Colin Fraser Poems: 'A Life in Protest' by Jackie Kay, shared with permission from Glasgow Women's Library.

To paraphrase Frank Reynolds after he hijacked the tour boat “one the things I like to do most, is listen to the Dogger Saints Podcast. I listen to a lot of the Dogger Saints Podcast.” A strange man, but you can be like him too, if you come and join your old pals Sam and Dan for Episode 88 of The Dogger Saints Podcast! We have all the skinny from all the Saints related action over the past few weeks, as we relive the mens 2-2 burglary against Dundee, and we Mac's beautiful wee silky skills. We also look into the women's double-header against Livingston, as Sam caught up with gaffers Jamie Reynolds and Kev Candy, and Dan with goalscorers Elvie McLean and Fern Newbigging after the thrilling cup victory, and then caught up with absolutely nobody after the league drubbing. We all know what brightens up the time of year when the nights start fair drawing in - features, baby! And we've got them all with The Good, The Bad and The Banto, a visit to Mike Ashley's emporium for this weeks O'Boyle, a small visit to the Club Shop of Shame, and we get in the ring for some wrastling in this weeks Theme Team.

Quarterback, the new eight-episode docuseries from NFL Films and Omaha Productions, follows three of the biggest quarterbacks in the game throughout the 2022 season, giving an unprecedented look at what it takes for the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes, the Minnesota Vikings' Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons' Marcus Mariota to succeed when all eyes are on them. “Look — we've seen quarterbacks mic'd up for a game. We've certainly seen training camp. But we've never followed a quarterback throughout the entire season to see what he does Sunday night after a big win, after a brutal loss on a last-second field goal — what they do on Mondays and Tuesdays on their off days,” Hall of Fame quarterback and Quarterback executive producer Peyton Manning told Netflix. “Are they hanging out? Are they playing golf? Are they in the weight room and watching film and grinding for that next game? Which is the answer, by the way, not to give it away. There is no golf in the season.” https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/quarterback-nfl-docuseries-news

It's another Scottish Women's Football roundup and the regular trio of John B, Vinny and Dave give their views on everything that's happened in the Women's game over the last few weeks. Glasgow City have taken a six-point lead at the top thanks largely to victory away to Celtic, and this form lead to Leanne Ross moving from interim to permanent Head Coach. Is it one hand on a 16th SWPL title for them or have Celtic and Rangers got enough in them to overhaul them? Hearts had long secured a top six finish and have an eight point lead over their city rivals Hibs, who also secured a top six spot. They were joined by Partick Thistle, whose victory at Dundee United edged them into the final top six position ahead of Motherwell and Spartans. For a club who were promoted to the top flight at the 11th hour due to the sad demise of Forfar Farmington, it's an incredible achievement for Brian Graham's girls to get to this position in only their second season in the top flight. Vinny caught up with Thistle's longest serving player Taylor McGlashan who expressed what this meant to the club. The conversation then moves onto the bottom half of the table and the battle to avoid the relegation playoff match with the SWPL2 runners-up. Which one of Dundee United, Aberdeen and Hamilton, currently seperated by four points, will face the dreaded playoff? And with the gap between second and sixth in the second tier only seven points with nine games to go, it's still all to play for between five sides vying for a second chance at promotion. League leaders Montrose are motoring along nicely with a nine point lead at the top. This weekend, the SWPL1 season takes a break as the Scottish Cup Quarter Finals commence. Glasgow Women host Motherwell, Hearts entertain holders Celtic, Rangers are at home to Hibs in a repeat of the Sky Sports Cup Final, whilst the only non-top flight side left in the competition Kilmarnock welcome Glasgow City to Rugby Park. We end with our top three players of the SWPL1 season so far, and we have a variety of options that all have a good case to be in the running for player of the year.

It's been another fascinating month in the SWPL as regular trio John, Vinny and Dave look back at the last few weeks in the top two divisions in the Women's game. January definitely belonged to Glasgow City in the title race as their main rivals Celtic and Rangers drooped two points apiece in their respective goalless draws with Motherwell and Hearts. Two wins and a credible draw away to the champions helped interim-Head Coach Leanne Ross stake a claim for the job on a permanent basis. With four points separating the three sides, and with Celtic hosting both City and Rangers before the split, it's sure to be an intriguing title race. Hearts impressive season under Eva Olid continues and she has added Gavin Beith to her backroom team. Gavin kindly took time to talk to Dave about joining the club after stints at Aberdeen and Dundee United, and what he's expecting from the role as second first team coach. Their Edinburgh rivals Hibs had another erratic month but still have done enough to all but assure top six football, whilst two points separate Partick Thistle, Motherwell and Spartans for the remaining spot. Meanwhile Aberdeen, Dundee United and Hamilton are in a tight battle to avoid the playoff spot against the SWPL2 runners-up, and Glasgow Women's wait for their first point in the top flight goes on. At the top of SWPL2, Montorose took control of the title race with impressive wins over St Johnstone, Queens Park and Stirling University, whilst Gartcairn have suffered from a curse of this podcast as a draw and two defeats saw them surrender top spot since Robert McCallum's appearance. Kilmarnock could still make this a three horse race if they come out of games against the top two at home victorious this month. We round off with predictions for this weekends matches in SWPL1. We will return later in the month with a look ahead to three derbies taking place on the weekend of 24 February, so tune in for that.

Mark Stephen meets those behind Glasgow Women's Library, the only museum in the UK celebrating women's lives, history and achievements.
It's another big weekend in the Scottish Women's Football calendar as we have Derby Day action in SWPL1. John B, Vinny and Dave are joined by the leagues Managing Director Fiona McIntyre to preview the games. The Women's Old Firm derby is up first on Saturday night at Broadwood, will the defending champions maintain their unbeaten record stretching back to the last day of the 2020/21 season, or will Celtic leapfrog their arch rivals with victory? Next up is the "Petershill derby" between Partick Thistle and Glasgow City, with Vinny promoting what's on offer for a family funday as well as the prospect of an exciting game between 5th and 2nd in the league. The only non-derby of the day is between Spartans and Glasgow Women, but this is no less significant than any other game this weekend with both sides looking to kick-start their respective seasons after a difficult opening ten games. We have a first top-flight meeting between Dundee United and Aberdeen, which has been moved to Tannadice in order to attract more fans to the game. United will be looking to build on last weekends win by piling on the misery for the Dons, who've failed to build on their fifth place finish of last campaign. In the first of the Sunday evening games, Hamilton take on Motherwell and will take inspiration from their win at Fir Park last season, whilst 'Well will be seeking back-to-back wins for the first time this season. Last, and by no means least, is the Edinburgh derby between Hibs and Hearts in front of an expected record crowd for a domestic game in Scotland. Can the Hibees give themselves a pre-SWPL Cup Final boost, or will the Jambos increase the gap on their capital rivals with another three points. Forget the men's World Cup, there's plenty to get excited about in Scottish Football, and this weekend is another chance for the Women's game to shine on centre stage.

It's Tuesday - and you know what that means! Welcome to Episode 68 of the ABZ Football Podcast as Gary (@tchocky83), Gavin (@TheRogue87) & Graham review our horrendous 4-1 defeat to the forces of darkness at Mordor on Saturday afternoon. We then take our regular look at all of the news coming out of AB24 in the last week together with a look at the Women's Team as they faced Glasgow Women at Pittodrie & we check in on our loanees in Loan Watch in another busy week of action at the Club.

Ah well, it wasn't to be - a solitary goal from Connor Barron is all that we offered in our away fixture in our 4-1 loss against Rangers at Ibrox. Post match reaction with Jim Goodwin. Another side struggling is Aberdeen FC Women - hear from Loren Campbell and Francesca Ogilvie prior to their match at Pittodrie on Sunday against Glasgow Women. Plus the usual round-up of Dons and supporters news.
Ryan Maher is joined by Paul Cuddihy for another episode of the Celtic View Podcast as the pair look back on James Forrest's hat-trick to earn the winger his 100th goal for the club. The team look back on an impressive weekend as the Celts stayed top of the Scottish Premiership table with a 6-1 victory over Hibernian, with goals from Giorgos Giakouamkis, Daizen Maeda and the landmark moment from Forrest. Callum McGregor is our special guest, as Paul sits down with the captain to speak about the release of his upcoming autobiography ‘The Making of a Celtic Captain,' which is out in club stores from October 20. It's a fascinating chat as McGregor details his journey from Youth Academy to title winner, and what it was like to put the book together alongside Paul. There's also all the build-up to another huge week for the first-team with the quarter-finals of the League Cup on Wednesday away to Motherwell, before a league visit to Tynecastle to face Hearts on Saturday.

Alberta Whittle talks to Ben Luke about her influences in art, books, music and other media and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Over the last few years, Whittle has emerged as one of the most striking new voices in contemporary British art, especially with her collaborative film installations focusing on battling anti-blackness. Born in 1980 in Bridgetown on the Caribbean island of Barbados, Whittle moved to Birmingham in the UK as a teenager before studying at the Glasgow School of Art—she still lives in Glasgow today but spends some of her time in Barbados. This relationship between her native Caribbean and her Scottish hometown have informed her work from the start, in terms of exploring her own identity and its connection with the histories of colonialism, slavery and systemic racism. Whittle's acclaimed films are a collage of disparate moving images, including found archival material, footage shot on an iPhone and extraordinary performances filmed in beautiful high definition, among other things. In this conversation, she explains her instinct to collaborate with performers, artists and writers, reflects on her love of the art of Frida Kahlo and Hilma af Klint, among many others, and discusses the music she adores, by artists as diverse as Dancehall queen Patra and the late opera singer Jessye Norman. Plus, she answers our usual questions, including the ultimate one: what is art for?

On Practice: Cooking asks how cooking can bring people together and provide nourishment and care? What are the ways that cooking together can open up difficult conversations - about racism, colonialism and migration? This episode highlights artist Jasleen Kaur's collaboration with women from the Portman Early Childhood Centre through the Changing Play project Everyday Resistance, and includes Yogyakarta based artist and researcher Elia Nurvista's reflections on food and power, and researcher and cook Fozia Ismail speaking about food as resistance. On Practice is produced by Reduced Listening. Image Credit: Joy Yamusangie. Show Notes Over the last year through the pandemic, we've seen more than ever how our individual actions impact others, how we're all interdependent. This three-part podcast series explores the practices that can sustain us individually and collectively – Cooking, Listening and Walking - and how they can be used to bring people together to work towards change. Hosts Amal Khalaf and Alex Thorp welcome artists, collaborators and friends to explore ideas and projects developed as part of Serpentine's Education and Civic programme, which connect communities, artists and activists to generate responses to pressing social issues. These are projects that have been developed in collaboration with people, centred on the body, the city, and exploring the injustices we experience in our everyday life. Hear from Jasleen Kaur, Elia Nurvista, Fozia Ismail, Ain Bailey, Micro Rainbow, Portman Early Childhood Centre, Ultra-red, Ximena Alarcón, Sam Curtis, Tim Ingold, Voice of Domestic Workers and Katouche Goll. Each of the three episodes are accompanied by an exercise, kindly shared by the artists, an invitation to join their practice. Jasleen Kaur was born in Glasgow and is now based in London. Her work is an ongoing exploration into the malleability of culture and the layering of social histories within the material and immaterial things that surround us. Her practice examines diasporic identity and hierarchies of history, both colonial and personal. She works with sculpture, video and writing. Recent and forthcoming presentations include exhibitions and projects at the Wellcome Collection, UP Projects, Glasgow Women's Library, Market Gallery, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Eastside Projects and Hollybush Gardens. Her work is part of the permanent collections of the Government Art Collection, Touchstones Rochdale and the Crafts Council. https://youtu.be/1j5XreNGtYk?t=1644 https://www.serpentinegalleries.org/whats-on/everyday-resistance/ Instagram: @_jasleen.kaur_ Fozia Ismail, scholar, cook and founder of Arawelo Eats, a platform for exploring politics, identity and colonialism through East African food. Ismail is a researcher writing about race and British identity and has spoken at the Oxford Symposium on Food & Cookery, designed workshops with Keep It Complex, Jerwood Project Space and the Museum of London using food as a method to think through issues around race and empire in Britain today. Fozia is also part of Dhaquan Collective, a feminist art collective of Somali women, centering the voices of womxn and elders in the community, and privileging co-creation and collaboration. She was a City Fellow for the Arnolfini, Bristol in 2019. Her work has been published and featured in a range of media including Observer Food Magazine, Oxford Symposium on Food & Cookery and BBC Radio 4 Food Programme. https://www.dhaqan.org/ https://www.serpentinegalleries.org/whats-on/radical-kitchen-2018-fozia-ismail-chilli/ https://www.araweloeats.com/ https://oxfordculturalcollective.com/fozia-ismail-food-as-resistance/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BfCuBZdhlc&list=PLbP2rruaw4OvyHmG5tYtqgtJ67xIJ5rOf&index=1 Instagram: @arawelo_eats Elia Nurvista is an artist who lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia whose practice focuses on food production and distribution and its broader social and historical implications. Food in various forms — from the planting of crops, to the act of eating and the sharing of recipes — are Nurvista's entry point to exploring issues of economics, labour, politics, culture and gender. Her practice is also concerned with the intersection between food and commodities, and their relationship to colonialism, economic and political power, and status. She runs Bakudapan, a food study group that undertakes community and research projects, and her social research forms the background of her individual projects, presented through mixed media installations, food workshops and group discussion. Her previous installations use a range of materials from crystalline sugar sculptures to sacks of rice, often incorporating video or mural painting and an element of audience interaction. www.elianurvista.com www.bakudapan.com Instagram: @elianurvista
