This episode of the Lost Map Podcast was presented by Pictish Trail and Laura Doherty, edited and with additional production from Joe Cormack.

Now they are seasoned podcasters, Pictish Trail and Laura discover that it’s nigh-on impossible to avoid slipping into Partridge every 5 minutes. The show might as well be called Mid-Morning Mappers, at this point.

Summer has arrived, but PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA are defiantly “taps ann”, and reporting to you from their respective homes on the Isle of Eigg and Edinburgh, with all the latest goss from Lost Map Records. There’s also some chat about chickens.

SUSAN BEAR is our featured interview this month, talking us through her life in music, and all the inside goss on the making of her new solo album, Alter, released on limited edition vinyl on June 10th. We also witness the return of FIRST GIG WORST GIG, with a brand new signing, the Canadian singer-songwriter LT LEIF - a tale which veers from homely to homeless.

On top of all that, we've got a selection of tracks from the other releases in this month's POSTMAP CLUB mail-out - new music from MARANTA and JENNY MOORE’S MYSTIC BUSINESS - as well as tracks from releases by SULKA and EMMA KUPA.
