Episode 1
In late 2022, Leyla Josephine's debut poetry book, In Public/In Private, was published, with a whirlwind tour around England, Scotland and Northern Ireland to support it. We meet the performance poet at the top of her game as she pauses for breath in her adopted hometown of Prestwick. In an exclusive recording from the beach, Leyla reads Questions I Have for Birds and gets ready for her much-anticipated homecoming gig at Glasgow's iconic King Tut's Wah Wah Hut.
Mousa Alnana is a Syrian artist working in painting, print and graphic design, who now calls Glasgow home. A master's graduate from the Glasgow School of Art, Mousa's work draws from his own experiences, showing humanity in its different colours and vulnerable stages. As well as showing us his own highly personal work, Mousa lets us in to one of his creative workshops at Glasgow's Centre for Contemporary Arts.
When they started No Comply, romantic and professional partners Cat and Andy turned their love for skateboarding into an eco-friendly business, as well as an art form. The pair collect used and discarded skateboards from across the UK and give them a new lease of life as a piece of beautiful handmade homeware. From the barn in rural Perthshire that they use as a workshop, the couple reveal their multi-layered process, which involves stripping the boards, gluing them together and lathing them down into the final products.
There is also an exclusive performance from poet Harry Josephine Giles, who performs her poem No Such Thing as Belonging.

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
