Yesterday, as part of the inaugural Gray Day – a day celebrating the life and work of Alasdair Gray – saw the launch of the Gray Matters Podcast. It’s a series of interviews with friends, family, academics, and acolytes of Alasdair which will give a vital audio archive of people’s memories and thoughts on one of Scotland’s great cultural figures.
The first two are with Professor Alan Riach and Alasdair’s sister Mora who both talk to Sorcha Dallas, the custodian of The Alasdair Gray Archive, about the launch of his debut novel Lanark (40 years ago today), and share their own recollections of the great man and his work.
You can find all the ways to listen and subscribe to the podcasts here – Gray Matters Podcast.
