If Glasgow’s Walls Could Talk podcast

With over 18,000 downloads, our podcast is thriving! While most podcasts don’t get past three episodes, we’ve delivered 20 and are gearing up for 10 more. We’re excited for you to hear what’s next as we explore the unique bond Glaswegians have with their city.

Each episode dives into a specific area, type of building, or aspect of Glasgow’s heritage, blending architectural history with community stories.

Catch up on all our episodes, complete with transcripts:

Niall, Fay and Dougal from Inner Ear, during the live recording at Central Station.

The first two series feature Niall Murphy, Director of Glasgow City Heritage Trust, chatting with guests about their personal experiences and memories. Niall’s deep knowledge of Glasgow’s architecture and his popular #MomentsofBeauty tweets, which began during lockdown, have gained quite a following.

For Series 3 we welcomed Fay Young as a co-host. Fay, a talented journalist who worked behind the scenes on Series 2, brings her storytelling magic to the podcast.

Curious about how the podcast is made? Check out our exclusive interview with Dougal Perman, Director & co-founder of Inner Ear, the production team behind If Glasgow’s Walls Could Talk.

If Glasgow’s Walls Could Talk is produced by Inner Ear, sponsored by National Trust for Scotland and kindly supported by Tunnock’s.
