Grab your prams and practice your Les Mis because this week we're building a barricade--except instead of Marius we're talking about Mary Barbour and the Glasgow rent strikes of 1915. Join Adam, Nat and this week's lovely (and in love) guests actor, Stephen McCole and writer/teacher, Emma Noble.

UPDATE: Under The Kilt is now on it’s own feed. Listen and subscribe here or find more info at underthekiltpodcast.com.
