Building Stories
Building Stories is a new podcast from Edinburgh City of Literature and Historic Environment Scotland. This series celebrates five women writers who lived at various points in their lives in Edinburgh and vitally contributed to literary culture across Scotland, the UK, and the world. The important work of these women has gone under-recognised, so in this podcast we shine a light on their achievements. All of the authors featured in these podcasts have been recognised by Historic Environment Scotland’s Commemorative Plaque Scheme. This podcast is produced by I Am Loud Productions. It was commissioned by Edinburgh City of Literature and Historic Environment Scotland.
