Mainstream publishing has a problem and Mancunians aren’t having any of it. Meet the radical writers and DIY-publishers who transformed the literary scene of Manchester from 1977-2010, providing a platform to marginalised writers whose stories were being perpetually overlooked. The Hard Pressed podcast features interviews with creatives that shaped a lively spoken word and print scene, plus striking readings that convey the true lives of Manchester’s people past and present. Hosted by Heena Patel & Radhaika Kapur. Title music by JowonioA Cultureword productionThe Hard Pressed heritage project is funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund.
