When Life Gives You Limens is a new podcast series from Scottish Youth Theatre exploring the often ominous 'in-between' space in artistic practice that young artists frequently tend to find themselves. Establishing your practice in the industry is an increasingly demanding challenge due to the restrictions posed by funding, opportunity, access and space. This podcast helps create that space, offering the chance for current and past project participants to gather and evaluate the recurring entanglements between their life and artistic practice.
