Spiralling with Zara Gladman
Season 1
Eleanor Morton on Making Art When the World Feels Anti-Art
by Zara Gladman
Ahead of her return to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, comedian, author and self-described “Scotland’s most anxious woman” Eleanor Morton joins the first episode of Spiralling to tackle a big question: how do we keep making art when the world seems increasingly anti-art? We discuss childhood anxiety, AI (a lot!), comedy funding, universal basic income, the Scottish comedy scene and the Fringe. Plus, a mystery caller joins us live on air to share an unusual gripe about his colleague.

Spiralling is a new podcast coming this summer. Every week, comedian Zara Gladman sits down with a guest to discuss a problem, insecurity or festering little brain worm they can’t get out of their head. From social media addiction to mortality, dating, pervert glasses and everything in between, there's a lot to unpack. Together, we'll brainstorm solutions and hopefully... stop spiralling! Featuring special guests from the worlds of comedy, film, TV, music and beyond.
