Porty Podcast
The Porty Podcast is a community project, highlighting events in and around Edinburgh's seaside - Portobello! It's a very active area with sailing, rowing and kayaking on the Forth, a vibrant artistic community and a strong sense of identity which makes it slightly separate from the other parts of Edinburgh.

171 Rosie Nimmo and HomeSongs4Lunch
We’ve heard how local musicians are creating their own concerts or ceilidhs online. However, it was really good to hear that singer-songwriter Rosie Nimmo had been invited to sing, almost out of the blue, in a relatively new online service called Home Songs for Lunch. It was created in Campbeltown by David Fee, a full-time foster carer who also has a side line in running concerts in people’s own homes. When that became impossible, he was encouraged to offer something similar using Facebook; and he then drew on his substantial contacts book to find artists willing to sing four songs at lunchtime – every day of the week! This week, that included Portobello’s very own Rosie Nimmo.
