Jackie Kay: Identity, Ageing, and the Freedom of Not Fitting In

On this week’s episode, we’re joined by Jackie Kay - poet, novelist, former Scots Makar and one of the sharpest, warmest thinkers on identity, belonging and getting older without shrinking. We talk about turning 60 as a clarifying moment, why writing is a lifelong form of processing, living on the margins by choice, love without cohabitation, grief, friendship, and what really matters as you age.Whether you’re rethinking who you are, how you live, or how much of yourself you’re willing to give away, this is a conversation about staying whole, because it’s never just about getting older, it’s about getting clearer.See Jackie Kay live in conversation with Russell T Davies at Pitlochry Festival Theatre on 16 JanuaryGet in touch with your thoughts at [email protected].
