Thursday, 5 September 2019 - 27 minutes

A podcast only of Manx Radio's weekly programme looking at Manx life from a different angle, exploring the historical, social, linguistic and academic issues. In it you can hear researcher Zoe Russell of the University of Stirling talking about her week of investigations into the background of the Isle of Man UNESCO Biosphere status, which she'll be comparing with that of Wester Ross in Scotland as part of a three-year research programme. We also hear how glimpses of Manx history emerge from recordings of one of the late native speakers, John Kneen, known as y Gaaue.
