In this episode we talk with Helen Mill and Dan Serridge from the Village Storytelling Centre whose festival of contemporary and community storytelling runs from the 25-30 June 2024 in Glasgow. We were also joined by Arjen Barel, Director of the Storytelling Centre in Amsterdam, who has created a storytelling and dance piece called Saffron alongside Palestinian performer Hala Salem.

We begin Season 2 of Another Story by sharing a conversation between two fantastic artists, Shona Cowie and Neil Sutcliffe, who discuss their new project, a storytelling and music show about Scotland’s land, called Rickle O Stanes. This conversation was originally broadcast in May 2024 by Edinburgh’s online radio station EHFM. With thanks to them, we're delighted to share this episode with you. ~~~

Our final episode in this first series is something a bit different from the previous five and a little bit special... We are delighted to share a full recording of the Open Hearth from the Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2023, recorded live from the Netherbow Theatre in the Scottish Storytelling Centre.

These sessions are relaxed and welcoming as storytellers and musicians share with the audience in the ceilidh tradition. Across this episode you’ll hear from storytellers Dougie Mackay, Fiona Herbert and Tim Porteus, as well as beautiful music and song from Rachel Newton. We really hope you enjoy this and that it inspires you to come along to some live storytelling yourself some day soon.
