If you want to listen to The Energy That Made Modern Scotland podcast you can find it here on Spotify. Although it’s divided into five short episodes, we made it in the style of a radio documentary so it works as a single one hour programme as well.
The Energy That Made Modern Scotland
Podcast · Dominic Hinde · Historian Dr Ewan Gibbs and Sociologist and Writer Dr Dominic Hinde bring alive the story of North Sea energy through archive clips, expert interviews and academic analysis.
