Description

Join us for the new edition of the #ScotsInUs Podcast from The American-Scottish Foundation as we spotlight the upcoming Edinburgh International Festival and Edinburgh Festival Fringe - two of Scotland's premiere cultural events.

We'll be joined in conversation with:

Francesca Hegyi, Executive Director of the Edinburgh International Festival

Lyndsey Jackson, Deputy CEO of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival

We explore the challenges and opportunities available to these events and festivals in a time which has caused great uncertainty to the event industry in Scotland. This year the Edinburgh Festivals look forward to welcoming appreciative returning crowds after having to postpone in person events last year. We hear what the Edinburgh Festivals have got planned for us this year.

With music from Ainsley Hamill and Seán Gray.

Interviews by Camilla G. Hellman, MBE, President of the American-Scottish Foundation

Presented by Jamie McGeechan
