Welcome to the Walking Heads Talking Feet podcast. We’ve been pretty quiet over the last few months but we’ve been busy plotting out the year ahead and take the podcast across Scotland. We have also been working alongside friends and creatives in the podcast community to help develop new strands & content, which we will hopefully be previewing in the coming weeks. In the meantime, we are back in Glasgow, being led through the city by two of our very knowledgeable tour guides, in a crossover episode looking at two main themes of our audio walking tours. Broadcaster Jim Gellatly, who listeners should recognise from our first episode and the Glasgow Music Tour, is joined by GSA Professor Johnny Rodger from our ‘A Brisk Walk’ Tour, looking at Dereliction & Architecture in Glasgow. Sauchiehall Street holds so many key destinations on Glasgow Music Tour, two of which being the 02 ABC and GSA, which were tragically devastated by the fire of 2018. While we wait to hear when and how they might come back to life, new music venues are opening along this famous street, which also features in our A Brisk Walk Tour. We asked Jim and Johnny to bring us up to date with what is happening in Sauchiehall street and what it says about Glasgow life. Bringing together their knowledge in these areas makes for a particularly engaging conversation with some surprises and many memories, including, of all people, John F Kennedy on Sauchiehall Street, can you believe?!You’ve been listening to the Talking Feet podcast, produced by Walking Heads.
