  • 394: Coinneach MacLeod, Pen Vogler and Julian Baggini at Wigtown Book Festival

    394: Coinneach MacLeod, Pen Vogler and Julian Baggini at Wigtown Book Festival
    Oct 18 2024
    There's a food theme in this week's episode as we head to Wigtown to chat to The Hebridean Baker Coinneach MacLeod, food historian Pen Vogler on her books Scoff and Stuffed and philosopher Julian Baggini tells us How The World Eats. Plus we get the Books of Your Life from Gareth Brown and find new books in the RNIB Library.

    The image used is a fun collage featuring moments from the Wigtown Book Festival, along with some of the authors and their works.

    On the top left, there’s the festival’s lovely handwritten-style logo with little birds fluttering around it. Just beside that, we see the cover of The Hebridean Baker by Coinneach MacLeod, showcasing a man in a kilt standing in the rugged Scottish outdoors—probably hinting at some great Scottish baking stories!

    To the right, we have the RNIB Connect Radio logo.

    In the middle left, there’s a picture of three smiling people: Robert Kirkwood (who you might know from RNIB Radio) is standing on the left, holding a microphone. Next to him is Coinneach MacLeod holding a book, and to the right of him is Pen Vogler, who is holding her book Stuffed: A History of Good Food and Hard Times.

    Then, on the center right, there’s a nice portrait of Pen Vogler herself, looking thoughtful and confident, with her book cover prominently displayed next to her.

    Moving down to the bottom, on the left is the colorful cover of How the World Eats by Julian Baggini, which seems to explore food from different cultures across the globe. And on the bottom right, there’s a picture of Julian Baggini himself, standing casually outdoors against a stone wall.

    All in all, this collage gives a taste of the authors and books you’d encounter at the festival, with a nice focus on food and culture.
