10. The Teller and the Tale featuring Scottish storyteller Tim Porteus

Tuesday, August 9, 2022 • Duration 29:47

This episode is my first "field recording". Scottish storyteller Tim Porteus and I were literally walking through a forest and across a field when I recorded our conversation. I loved the relaxed quality of the conversation and it seemed to allow for a genuine flow of storytelling from Tim. In this episode, Tim shares a "Broonie" tale and some rich anecdotes drawn from his life as a father.

Tim lives in Prestonpans in East Lothian, Scotland. The "Pans", as locals call it, is situated on the Firth of Forth, the waterway that reaches inland from the North Sea. The town has a rich history of fishing and mining, although sadly, much of that is gone. It's storytellers like Tim, however, who keep the history and stories alive, celebrating its people and pastimes. Tim has also been a regular contributor to the East Lothian Courier where you can find his "Tim's Tales" every week (https://www.eastlothiancourier.com/news/20603104.tims-tales-chest-stories/).

9. The Teller and the Tale featuring Tom Richardson

Tuesday, July 27, 2021 • Duration 30:05

In this episode, host Michael Williams meets Scottish guitarist and composer Tom Richardson. He invites Tom to tell the story behind his new album "Beatrice by the Spey". Consisting of 15 guitar instrumentals, Tom draws on Scottish folk traditions of fiddle and bagpipe music. Yet he also exhibits his love of bluegrass and jazz genres. "Beatrice by the Spey" is a brilliant album from an eclectic and talented performer and composer; it is also a musical project rooted in Tom's response to being locked down during the COVID pandemic. Judging from this album, there's no doubt we'll be hearing from Tom again in the near future. A brilliant star in the constellation of Scottish folk music.
