S1 Ep4: Stuart Cosgrove
In this episode I speak with Stuart Cosgrove of Dennistoun. Stuart is a writer, broadcaster, television executive and so much more. A resident of Dennistoun for many years, Stuart originally comes from Letham in Perth. Our conversation covers a huge amount of ground, we go from life in Dennistoun, his youth in Perth, his studies in Hull and America, then on to Stuart’s working life. We also talk about the importance of soul music, we touch on the life and skills of late Mary Wilson of the Supremes and then we round off with a reflection of Gaelic in the community. Stuart also goes into the nature of poverty, what it means, and how important it is for us as a society to invest in the creative talents of young people. There’s also two naughty words which pop later on in the episode, please feel free to add a beeping sound at your own discretion. As we recorded this conversation over Zoom there are occasional odd noises and pinging sounds, I’ve tried to edit them out where possible, but you will hear the odd pop and growl for which I apologise.
