In 2024 we worked with a group of young and emerging artists in Easterhouse to create our first ever Audio Haunt - Hexagone. The show is an interactive ghost story that takes place at Platform and features spooky storytelling and cryptic puzzles.

Following the success of Hexagone at Platform the show is going on tour to Aberdeen's Granite Noir festival! Ahead of this we sat down with the young people from Platform who made the show, as well as the young people from Aberdeen Grammar School who made new puzzles for the new venue.

This episode of the podcast is lovingly hosted by our friends and collaborators on Hexagone - Storydive. You might recognise their voices from our first ever podcast episode The F Walk. Storydive are a Hamburg based audio walk company who we met through the Cultural Bridge programme connecting artists from the UK and Germany <3

Our In Orbit… series are informal conversations with people in our networks who we love.

Our first In Orbit with… Podcast is with Hussein Mitha, an interdisciplinary artist and writer who lives in Glasgow. In this conversation Huss brings some really special, insightful, funny, sad and hopeful thoughts about the Doughnut Economics model, ‘Fair Work’, (un)sustainable arts practices, policy writing and New York’s Central Park.
