Update on BBC Radio Scotland cuts
They're feeling the public pressure
Roddy Hart has been given more air time, which is excellent!
But...
- His team are still axed
- 4 key shows still axed
- Music policy still passive listening
- Still little room for emerging artists
- Core problems unchanged

It’s a Band band. Not a solo project with a band band. The record is what it is because of the textures we each add. On top of that you have the guests like @marktranmer.bsky.social @andyaquarius and Jimmy Chadwin. Not to mention everything that @dandysounds added in the mix. Collaboration.

EMDR therapy was a game changer. It brought back memories, processed some nasties, and made space for the music. Talking about that and more on @talkhouse.bsky.social with Garbage Shirley Manson - available where you get podcasts.
