Nicola Sturgeon – “I’m not going to be bullied out of doing what I think is right.”

How do you stay true to yourself under pressure? What hope is to be found in politics today?

Taken into care at two. The only kid in school with a social worker. Homeless and pregnant at 19.

Kay tells her story of growing up in a tourist village shadowed by addiction, fighting to break the cycle that defined her childhood, and returning years later to work in the very service that once helped her.

A Voice in the Dark shares the raw, real stories Scotland doesn’t often hear — about homelessness, grief, and addiction — but always with one goal: to show that hope and resilience can rise from even the darkest places.

Original music composed by Jacob Hodge.

Originally commissioned by ⁠Shaper/Caper⁠ for their 2024 'Queer & Now' exhibition, Songs From the Back of the Bus by Ross Whyte is a reworking of Brian Souter’s ‘Keep the Clause’ campaign billboards, which promoted his privately-funded 2000 referendum. The visual “noise” of that campaign is contrasted with LGBTQ+ voices.

An original score accompanies the testimonies of those who lived through and campaigned for the repeal of Section 28 (or Clause 2A, as it was known in Scotland).

The interviewees reflect on this significant period of recent Scottish history and discuss their concerns for what may yet lie ahead.

What's it like to live in a country that's suddenly engulfed in war? When neighbours who have lived together peacefully turn against one another? When a city is under siege for four years? When over 8000 men are slaughtered in a genocide?

Between 1992 and 1995, more than 100,000 thousand people were killed in the Bosnian War At least 70 percent of them were Bosniak Muslims.

In July 1995 more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were killed by Bosnian Serb forces. The Srebrenica massacre is regarded as the only genocide in Europe since World War 2.

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the genocide, we'll hear from people who lived through the war, who survived the genocide, who brought aid from Scotland and from Scottish children who give a voice to children from Bosnia and all that they suffered.

Contributors

Suvad Cibra - English teacher, animal rights charity worker in Sarajevo and he's also a guide for the Beyond Srebrenica delegations.

David Hamilton - Scottish information commissioner, former aid worker in Bosnia

Samir Mehanovic – Award-winning Film Director. His film 'Fog of Srebrenica' tells the story of the survivors of the Srebrenica genocide.

Music composed by Nigel Osborne. The music is the soundtrack to 'Fog of Srebrenica', winner of the Special Jury Award at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), 2015. Many thanks to Director Samir Mehanovic for allowing us to use the soundtrack in this podcast.

A Sonic Hug: "Tomiwa's Story"

In this episode, Tomiwa shares her experience with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). She discusses the impact on her daily life, career, and sense of self, while highlighting the need for better understanding and treatment options. Through her story, we explore the intersection of mental health, identity, and the importance of self-advocacy.

The A Sonic Hug podcast provides a platform for individuals to share raw, unfiltered stories about mental health struggles. Drawing from my own 25-year battle with PTSD, panic disorder, and agoraphobia, my aim is to promote empathy and understanding by presenting real-life accounts without sugar-coating. The podcast's uniqueness lies in its commitment to authentic storytelling, delving into themes like grief and body image. My personal experiences inspire me to break down barriers, create a safe space for sharing, and advocate for accessible mental health support. A Sonic Hug is more than a podcast; it's a community united by shared experiences, promoting compassion and awareness.

Testing Grounds: "Seasickness/Cur na Mara"

In this bonus episode, Glasgow-based Gaelic writer Mairi Macleod reads her short story, Seasickness/Cur na Mara. In 2023, Mairi was commissioned by NAARCA to create a short piece of fiction in both Scots Gaelic and English, and was also granted an 8-week residency at Saari Residence in Finland, where she wrote Seasickness.

Mairi's writing engages with humanity’s relationships with space, place, and the complex thing we call "nature". As a young woman writing in a minority language, she wants to contribute not just to the survival of Gaelic, but to its blossoming and evolution.

In Seasickness, Mairi draws on a traditional Scottish folk tale – the Selkie wife – and updates it for an age of climate crisis.

Sound Escape Theatre: "The Glad Giver"

“But what’s the point of an old woman’s prayers every morning at this time? I’ve been locked in here forty years or more, and the world still suffers, and the plagues still come. And sometimes, I still feel so — lonely. And I wonder if God’s really listening at all to the likes of me.”

The Glad Giver is an audio drama about the medieval anchoress, Julian of Norwich. Julian published the first known book by a female author in English, called ‘Revelations of Divine Love’.

When she was thirty and ill to the point of death, Julian had a series of visions she called ‘shewings’. She recovered and chose to spend the rest of her life as an anchoress, confined to an enclosed cell adjoining Saint Julian's church. Over the following years, she contemplated her visions, and wrote the first known book in English by a woman, ‘Revelations of Divine Love’.

In The Glad Giver, I have imagined one day in the life of the anchoress as an older woman, who has lived most of her life in one room, devoted to her faith. Julian’s written words resonate with people across the world; I would have liked to meet her.

Who is the Cheese Wire Killer?: "Jessie"

In episode three, we hear about the witness who came forward three weeks after the murder, and how this prompted Grampian Police to check the hands of thousands of football fans as they arrived to watch Aberdeen play Celtic.

And we track down George and Jessie's neighbour who, at only 13 years old, carried out an incredible act of kindness to Jessie, which unbelievably spanned almost three years.

On the 40th anniversary of one of Scotland’s most notorious unsolved murders, we continue our journey to discover, “Who is the Cheese Wire Killer?”

Wild for Scotland: "'Push and Pull' – A Journey to Barra and Vatersay by Bike"

Join me for a self-powered journey across Barra and Vatersay, the southernmost (inhabited) islands in the Outer Hebrides.

‘Push and Pull’ is a story about slowing down and exploring the Isles of Barra and Vatersay by bike. I spent 3 nights on these islands which I had only visited once before – to travel even slower, by foot on the Hebridean Way. Yet somehow, I never felt like I did these islands justice – seeing so little of them on my hike… That’s what this story is about – maximising your time on the island, while also slowing down to immerse yourself in the landscapes.

We’ll explore Barra and Vatersay by bike, battle the hilly roads out of Castlebay and learn about the transformations that happen at Traigh Mhor – the big beach up north on the Isle of Barra. We meet the merry dancers in the night skies and follow the road south to the beaches of Vatersay.

At the end of the episode, I share my top tips for a slow adventure in Barra and Vatersay.
