The Loudcast: Speaking Scots in Spoken Word (w/ Len Pennie)

Alright lads, in this episode of The Loudcast we’re delighted to feature poet and Scots language advocate Len Pennie! Len’s fantastic and important work promoting Scots through her Twitter and TikTok accounts has vaulted her to fame in the past year, and it was a joy to chat with her about all of it. Plus, we feature poetry from Carly Brown, Kevin Mclean, Hannah Lavery, and of course Len herself!
Follow Len on Twitter at @Lenniesaurus or on TikTok at @misspunnypennie. Check out her KZbin channel for some of her poems: / @misspunnypennie You can support her work by buying her a coffee: ko-fi.com/misspunnypennie
The Loudcast is hosted by Kevin Mclean (@kevoutloud), produced by Mark Gallie (@ZaJollyGinger), researched by Katie Ailes (@KatieAiles), and publicised by Bex Sherwood (@bexpoet) (all Twitter handles).
This season of the Loudcast was made possible by the support of the National Lottery through Creative Scotland.

I kind of think Chewin' The Fat is kind of like the scottish equivalent of Key and Peele, we've always been funny but now we're a joke?
