On Male Friendships: with Andrew Greig and Michael Pedersen
From the Lantern podcast by the Scottish Poetry Library (listen to the previous episodes HERE): ‘Me and my Dad will just about manage a handshake’.

Poets Andrew Greig and Michael Pedersen join Scottish Makar Kathleen Jamie and Alistair Heather to examine, through their own work, how relationships between males are depicted in Scottish writing.
