Joana’s pick from 1000 Better Stories Blog

In this episode we cross over to our 1000 Better Stories blog, and SCCAN Story Weaver Joana Avi-Lorie shares two of her favourite contributions from last year. 
You will hear:
A trio of poems Nem, Talam, Muir (Air, Earth, Water) read by their author, Erin Rizzato Devlin, followed by a conversation with her sister and collaborator Emir Elisa Rizzato on the philosophy behind their work together as Càrna.
A short story The Egg Hunters, read by its author Gazelle Buchholtz, and a note on the background to the story.

The work of these contributors was funded by SCCAN Storytelling mini-grants. Applications for these are closed but we are planning to re-launch them in April 2023. Get in touch on stories@sccan.scot if you are interested and would like to discuss your idea.
Joana has been taking care of the work SCCAN storytelling showcase on the sister space to this podcast, 1000 Better Stories blog, where you can find work in a multitude of formats, including creative writing, film, reportage, dance.
