Interviewees include film festival curators and contemporary artists, so there’s a bit for every artsy soul out there. Find the podcast on their Soundcloud.
For even more culture, Glasgow Museums has a similar podcast that features a behind the scenes look into the inner workings at the many museums.

Whether you’re involved in the underground creative scene of Glasgow, or just wish you were, this podcast is sure to get creative sparks going.
Suburbian Glasgow Podcasts Too!
Some of the best podcasts are just two people chatting for an hour: Like being invited into someone’s living room. The podcast “What Happened Next” is just exactly that, as pensioners Jack and Michael report live from the suburbs.
