SCOTTISH BLETHERS
Hosts | Liz Lister and Helen Houston
In Scotland, when friends get together they blether. When those friends happen to be Scottish Blue Badge Tourist Guides you can be sure that the country they are so passionate about will be right at the heart of their discussions.
Contemporary and historical; culinary and cultural; reminiscence and anecdote - from accommodation to zoos, the chat will range across the entire alphabet of topics and issues that are live and happening in Scotland right now.
We hope that you’ll join us - there’s nothing to beat a right good blether!

SB | Episode 59: Glasgow Public Art
The eyes of the world are on Scotland this week a the world leaders gather in Glasgow for COP26. A work of art can prompt discussion and encourage the viewer to reflect more deeply and so perhaps it’s not surprising the environmentally themed works designed to highlight the climate crisis are appearing around the city. From glass salmon to monumental neon works, flags and banners made from ocean plastic to giant polar bear sculptures, we take a look at how artists are marking this major event. Should the participants take time away from the conference for their own quiet contemplation, they will no doubt be amazed by the wealth of public art the City of Glasgow has to offer - much of it with an environmental theme.
