This exhibition reflects ideas and innovation, creativity and social change from across the centuries. It features objects from early printed books to video installations, and from maps and medieval manuscripts to passports and letters.
This episode features beloved comics, audio from the early 1900s and an often-overlooked heroic explorer. Presenter and journalist Martel Maxwell is an ambassador for Dundee, and it’ll come as no surprise that she’s chosen the archives of one of Scotland’s greatest publishers to discuss. Comedian Jamie MacDonald delves deeper into the audio collection from the exhibition, finding a recording of a fiddler who was nothing short of a superstar in his day. Fellow comedian Jo Caulfield completes the episode, after discovering the diaries of a Scottish explorer, botanist and filmmaker who rivals any of her contemporaries.
Hosted by Julia Sutherland.
