Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Jim & Pat’s Glasgow West End Chat - Episode 102.
Today, Pat chats with Billy Kay – writer, broadcaster, multi-award-winning producer and promoter of the Scots language.
Billy has a new book called 'Born in Kyle: A Love Letter to an Ayrshire Childhood.' I recommend it wholeheartedly; we attended a recent event at Glasgow University where he read from it and regaled us with many hilarious tales from his childhood.
