    In this episode of Inside Publishing, Gemma interviews Lauri Kubuitsile, author of The Scattering. We talk about her experiences as an author who has worked with many publishers, her views on genres as a marketing tool and why she doesn’t have a literary agent. Her historical novel, The Scattering explores the lives of two women and their experiences of two historical atrocities in Southern Africa at the beginning of the twentieth century: the Herero and Nama genocide, and the Anglo-Boer war.

    The Gaelic Revival with Scottish Makar, Pàdraig MacAoidh

    In this episode, Nuala speaks to Pàdraig MacAoidh - Scotland's Makar, academic, and broadcaster - to discuss the growing movement behind the revival of the Gaelic language. As part of a three-part series, Pàdraig opens the conversation by discussing his relationship to Gaelic, the creative process of adapting such an old language to his contemporary environment, and the opportunities for Gaelic speakers in the industry today. We also uncovered some of the challenges facing its resurgence, including the disconnect between the highlands, islands and cities, and a concern that isolated regions may be left behind in this process of national revival. Pàdraig remains hopeful and excited by the prospects of the newly passed Scottish Languages Bill and the increasing opportunities available to young Gaelic speakers across many industries in Scotland.  Pàdraig MacAoidh X: @PàdraigMacaoidh Website: https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poetry/scotlands-makar/   Mentioned in this episode: Len Pennie and her Scots word of the day: @misspunnypennie on instagram Scottish Language Bill: https://www.parliament.scot/bills-and-laws/bills/s6/scottish-languages-bill  Hosted and edited by Nuala Tranter (SYP Scotland Podcast Officer) Instagram: @sypscotland Website: https://thesyp.org.uk  If you have any questions about this episode or wish to partake in the conversation, drop us a line at podcast.syp@gmail.com
