Improv at The Stables Theatre

It’s 18 months since The Stables Theatre here in Hastings got its own Improv group and it’s going from strength to strength with a pool of 18 participants and regular monthly shows coming to The Stables’ Gwen Watford performance space from the start of June. Tim Kendrick, Scott Kingsnorth and Aisling Teodorescu recently chatted to Stuart Baillie about the group, its inception and how improv works. It’s a great podcast with a lot of laughter. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

The other side of the microphone

Stuart Baillie was delighted when Terence Starr invited him to appear on the Business Buzz and Banter show on Ashford's Channel Radio. Terence turned the tables on Stuart as the niormal interviewer became the interviewee. Channel radio was happy to share a file of the recording of the show which we are delighted to share here - minus the music.

Galloway Gazetteer - Murray's Monument

The story of Alexander Murray's short life is a fascinating one; raised as a Shepherd's boy in the Galloway Hills and with little formal education he taught himself not just to read but to read and understand foreign languages, eventually becoming a Professor at Edinburgh University before his death in 1813 aged just 37. Hear more about his life - and death - in this podcast. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Galloway's Gazetteer - The Cree River Hatchery & Habitat Trust

A well stocked, well managed river brings a lot to a local community; it brings tourism, it provides an amazing learning resource and it can help create jobs and training oportunities. Maintaining stocks of salmon in the Cree has been exactly what the Cree River Hatchery and Habitat Trust has been doing since its inception in 2010 and now every year the hatchery produces up to 200,000 young salmon - more correctly called salmon fry. It's been a big month for the Trust; the river was opened for the season, it received one of two inaugural Orri awards from North Atlantic Salmon Fund and it has launched a Crowdfunder to hopefully double the £10,000 it received as part of the Orri award. At the beginning of March 2026 Stuart Baillie met Hatchery Coordinator Murdo Crosbie to find out more about the history of the hatchery and how it goes about ensuring the Cree is a well stocked salmon river that is attractive to anglers and you'll hear how the trust hopes to spend the money it raises.
