Culture Making with Tad Hargrave
May 01, 2024 Season 1 Episode 13
Dougie Mackay

As a prequel to my upcoming tour of British Columbia I speak with Tad Hargrave, best known for his Marketing for Hippies movement, but also eloquent in culture making and something of a storyteller, improv actor and street magician. You want this guy at your party!

In our conversation we touch upon his own path to discover of the richness of his Celtic heritage, learning from cultural heavyweights such as Stephen Jenkinson,  discuss indigenous knowledge, heritage crafts, and trans Atlantic idea sharing. We reference at least one road trip and a selection of Scottish storytelling elders, and finish with a story about the gold in one's own home.

There's also a traveller anecdote in there that makes me laugh out loud!

We discuss my upcoming storytelling tour of British Columbia and Washington state and why he felt to instigate the trip.
