Welcome to the January/February 2021 episode of The Halifax Arts Podcast. We are in reflective mood here at the podcast and are taking time to look back over the previous 12 months. 2020 was an 'interesting' year on many levels, but the pandemic aside, and despite initial scepticism amongst all those who help make this podcast, we continued to Zoom, Skype and WhatsApp our way to produce all ten of our planned podcasts. That's all credit to the small team of volunteers who help make this podcast a reality. To help celebrate this achievement, we have asked each of our podcasters to pick their favourite contribution to the podcast in 2020. Janet chose her interview with the Gentleman Jack and Happy Valley writer Sally Wainwright; Steve chose his review of the films Rocks; Andrew chose his report about the 50th anniversary of the Krumlin Festival; Judy chose her discussion with Omid and John from Halifax's St. Augustine's Centre about the planned (and, alas, cancelled) Iranian Film Festival at Square Chapel Arts Centre; Alex chose her report about the at-risk Kenneth Barden murals at Halifax Swimming Pool; Jeremy chose his review of the film Ema; and Rosi chose her chat with the local poet Gaia Holmes. We hope you enjoy their choices.
