Thank you Rachel Amery @thescotsmanpaper.bsky.social for the fabulous feature on our petition to the Scottish Parliament to grant the River Clyde, and other Scottish rivers, the right to legal personhood- so it might flourish. Sign here! 👇 petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE...

In our new bonus episode, Jude & Louise discuss Glasgow's 850th birthday, and their decision to launch a petition to the Scottish Parliament.

The petition calls for the River Clyde to be granted the legal right of personhood.

Could the Clyde become the lifeblood of Glasgow again?

Louise gave a fabulous talk to launch the St Mungo Festival last week. It featured our podcast 'Who owns the Clyde?' and the petition to the Scottish Parliament to grant the Clyde the legal right to personhood. Great turn out, and the first event in the #Glasgow850 celebrations. 💥💥💥

We are fortunate to have collaborated with podcast producer @halinarifai.com in making & shaping 'Who owns the Clyde?'. Halina has expertly guided us in our first podcast with incredible skill & experience. She is involved in many brilliant projects & champions critical issues👇 www.halinarifai.com

Episode 1 of our podcast opens with writer, poet and multi-disciplined artist Malika Booker reading her wonderful poem 'Yonder Awa' from our 2014 Empire Cafe anthology of the same name, edited by @louisewelsh00.bsky.social. You can listen to Malika opening EP1 here 👇 podfollow.com/who-owns-the...

The music that flows through our podcast is 'I Murder Hate', kindly shared by artist @grahamfagen.bsky.social. It is Ghetto Priest's interpretation of the words of 17th century scottish poet Robert Burns, co-produced by Graham to coincide with his 2009 exhibition "somebodyelse" in Stirling.

It was a pleasure to talk with Cllr Holly Bruce about her work to embed a feminist approach within Glasgow's city planning and what this might mean for the future of the Clyde & city. She generously shared thoughts & key actions. Hear Holly in Ep3 'Clyde Rights' and bonus live event episode.

We met Kate and Mary of Clydeside Gardens to talk about their transformation of an underused space at Glasgow Harbour. They have created a vibrant and biodiverse community garden. Thank you for sharing insights into the project and its impact. We hope to talk more on this very soon.

We had such an engaging conversation with Paul Sweeney MSP on the Clyde's maritime history. He introduced us to the book 'Half of Glasgow is gone' by Michael Dick and his amazing collection of posters, literature and maquettes. You can hear Paul in Ep 2 'Sold down the River' and Ep 3 'Clyde Rights'.

We love our podcast trailer created by Gabby Durnan of Graphical House. 💜
