In a world gone topsy-turvy, it’s time to hear from the Quines.
Join your hosts Hannah Lavery and Caitlin Skinner as they invite some of Scotland’s leading feminist writers, poets, playwrights and musicians to respond to the big questions that matter to women, non-binary people and people of other marginalised genders in Scotland today. Each episode has a theme to focus our thoughts around so come, coorie in and let’s put the world to rights.
