Sandy reads from her travel memoir The Two Headed Whale and talks about the journey of discovery and understanding the writing of the book took her on, drawing parallels between whaling and a self-perpetuating fossil fuel industry. She talks about hope, about action, and the importance of a just transition. The episode closes with a reading from recent work Sandy published in the Scotsman.

She embarked on a life-changing journey to the Antarctic by tall ship in 2016 and went on to complete the Creative Writing Masters Programme at Stirling University in 2020. The Two-Headed Whale is published by Birlinn and Greystone and was nominated for the Saltire Society First Book of the Year Award in 2023.
