Artist, writer and thinker Gael Hillyard joins me to talk about her creative life, from painting, writing and photography, to the deep-winter months she spent as artist-in-residence on Fair Isle, to the ten silent days she lived inside a retreat with no conversation at all. We explore how her work has been shaped by a childhood spent in a Victorian atelier, the two studios she now keeps in the Highlands, and the weather-beaten coastlines she keeps returning to as both muse and anchor. And in the mailbag this week, Spike Boydell, our man from the canoe down under, has been thinking about slowing down, and I mean really slowing down. Comedy-writer-in-chief Hegaard the Dane sends word about solitude and the small matter of spending a night or three in jail! John Kenny writes about trees and the Sycamore Gap, which has an unexpected local relevance for me this weekend, and Bill Frische has been photographing a 'monster'. I'll also share a little more about the craft of photogravure that we'll be exploring on the new Scottish retreat in June. There's a reminder of this month's assignment, the last one of the year, before we shift our focus to THE ONE in December. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week and Arthelper.ai, giving photographers smart tools to plan, promote, and manage your creative projects more easily.

For this month's Forgotten Melodies bonus episode we're singing and talking about Witch Songs!As ever, the episode features new arrangements of three traditional folk songs: Witches Reel, Broomfield Hill and Hare Spell, and Martin, Ben and Eleanor chat about the history and context of each.With Witch Trials continuing in Scotland long after they had ended in England and Wales, it's perhaps unsurprising that so many Witch Songs have Scottish versions. Following our Gunpowder Plot Patreon Exclusive episode we're therefore continuing to talk quite a lot about James VI of Scotland, I of England here, including about the North Berwick Witch Trials. Then again, there's also the hill in Somerset where witches offer handy advice to maidens! We've done our best to do the genre justice and sing songs that aren't all doom and gloom, and really hope you enjoy the episode. Although we are hoping to have some musical offerings coming up on the week of Christmas, Forgotten Melodies will now be on a small hiatus until 2026, so we'll look forward to singing and playing more music for you then!The Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastProud members of the Dark Cast Network.Visit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

A decline in demand for whiskey is being blamed for the closure and suspension of Scottish malting plants - something which farmers fear will also mean a decline in demand for barley. Maltsters process barley so it can be used in distilleries or brewing. Several plants have announced closures and redundancies, but the Maltsters Association of Great Britain says that although it has a been a challenging year, they are positive about the future.The BBC Food and Farming Awards ceremony has taken place, with three strong finalists in the Farming Today and The Archers Farming for the Future category: Grazing Management who manage conservation grazing in Herefordshire; The Free Company, a farm and restaurant on a former dairy farm near Edinburgh; and Hugh Wragham who grows hemp in Northumberland. The winners were brothers Charlie and Angus Buchanan-Smith from The Free Company.All this week we're considering farming across the world, as COP 30 continues. We speak to a first generation farmer who produces organic mushrooms as part of an agroforestry farm business in south Brazil. He says its important for farmers to be at COP to push for financing for agriculture which can combat climate change. New rules on the size of oysters that can be landed on the River Fal in Cornwall have been introduced - part of a bid to protect future stocks of the shellfish. It's the first change in regulation on the size of native oysters dredged from the Fal in a hundred years.Presenter = Charlotte Smith at Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Pick up your copy now at your local bookstore or visit ⁠⁠noiser.com/books⁠⁠ to learn more. The Private Eye has long been a fixture of popular culture - from Sherlock Holmes, to Philip Marlowe, to Jessica Fletcher. But behind the fictional detectives lies a real figure whose influence shaped the very idea of the private investigator: Allan Pinkerton. After fleeing Scotland for the US under murky circumstances in the mid-1800s, he reinvented himself as a crime fighter and founded America's first detective agency. Soon, his name was everywhere. His agents guarded trains, infiltrated gangs, and uncovered a plot to kill a president.   But how did a poor Scottish immigrant build a private army more powerful than the police? How did his methodologies shape surveillance, and influence the foundations of the FBI? And what happened when his agents went head-to-head with legendary outlaws like Jesse James or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? This is a Short History Of The Pinkerton Detective Agency. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins. With thanks to Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones, a historian, and author of Allan Pinkerton, America's Legendary Detective and the Birth of Private Security.

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we visited with a highly respected expert on mental health matters who shared snapshots from her personal journey as the background for wide-ranging conversation on anxiety. She explained what anxiety is and is not, what causes anxiety and how to deal with it when it rears its ugly head. Our favorite Scottish apologist joined us for a very personal conversation about taking the trip from Australia back to Scotland to bid a final farewell to his mother. He shared with us the important lesson he took away from that experience. Then shifting gears, he addressed the accusation from a Canadian leader that the bible is full of “hate speech” and how a once trusted news service has fallen into deceptive practices and passing on misinformation as truth. A former gay man who had his life transformed has become a dedicated advocate for a return to God’s standard for sexuality. He has created a powerful media presentation that is opening eyes and transforming lives. He joined us to share a wide-range view of this very important tool. We helped you stretch your prayer list by sharing more stories of God at work in the entertainment industry. Then a bestselling author joined us to talk about the true meaning of Christmas and the transformative power of the Christmas story and how the story of Jesus entering into our world is the most important story ever told in human history. The news never stops and neither does our need to look at it with a critical, biblically sound eye. Join us for another exploration of some of the most important headlines of the week through the lens of scripture.
