Episode notes

Scots are rightly proud of their literary heritage, but how can past work - or the canon - impact writers today? Presenters Kathleen Jamie and Ally Heather are joined by poets Titilayo Farukuoye and Alycia Pirmohamed to discuss the relationship between the canon and a fresh generation of young writers.
