In this episode, Karen explores radical Glasgow with Historian and Tour Guide Katherine MacKinnon. Bonding over their love of the Vicky Road Oxfam Book shop, they talk about some of the key figures in the city's radical history including Agnes and Patrick Dollan, John S. Clarke and John McLean. We also chat about the changing skyline of the city, lion taming, the mural trail and how there are actually more notable Glaswegians than just Billy Connelly!
MacKinnon is a public historian, arts worker, writer and researcher based in Glasgow. She works with groups of people to explore and document experiences of everyday life, past and present.
