Podcast: Grim Up North?

Episode 2. Walking the North: Sheffield's Edges

Hi everyone. Just a quick post to draw your attention to Episode 2 of the podcast Grim Up North? that I co-host with the poet and photographer Adrian Scott, whose photo you can see above.

For this episode we’ve done an outside broadcast, as part of a theme we’re going to call ‘Walking the North.’ We’ve gone on a walk through Sheffield’s edges, taking in the past, present, and future of the city of steel.

There’s a lot here: the Beatles, Pulp and Richard Hawley; the ecology of the River Don, Park Hill, Kelham Island, George Orwell, the Sky’s Edge, and there’s also a lot of poetry, especially from Adrian.

So have a listen, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it. Available here: and on all major streaming platforms.
