For the first ever episode of Chatting Lit, I spoke to Kirstin Innes, author of Fishnet and Scabby Queen, and whose new non-fiction book Brickwork: A History of the Arches is coming out soon, co-authored by David Bratchpiece. We spoke about the #metoo movement, feminism, Scottish literature and more!
