Listen "Kathy Hubbard - ‘I have learnt never to say, ‘what next?’’"
Episode Synopsis
Kathy Hubbard, born in England and raised in Wales, has had a long-lasting love of Shetland, eventually moving here in 1990 to work for the SIC.
In this latest Shetland Voices podcast, she speaks extensively and passionately about her experiences as a probation officer, first in England, and then at criminal justice with the council here in Shetland.
A change in career saw her becoming the development officer with the then Shetland Arts Trust. She recalls the difficult, painful and surprisingly controversial journey to get the isles’ very own music, cinema and education venue off the ground, and reveals how the popular film festival Screenplay came about.
Now retired, she speaks movingly and openly about her long fight with cancer and reveals how writing a blog What Would Ripley Do? is helping her cope and put life into perspective.
