vivdunstanFinally going through the Edinburgh Book Festival programme, and disappointed as the proportion of streamed talks diminishes even further for yet another year. Luckily I am finding some gems, including Robert Macfarlane and Hallie Rubenhold. But it is pretty poor representation on accessibility grounds.
I used to attend the Edinburgh Book Festival in person, though usually then only attending one or two talks. But those days are past, as my neurological disease progresses, and streaming that took off as Covid started was a huge help to housebound me. And now that’s in major decline.
P.S. Streaming tickets now bought, for the above two talks, plus those with VE Schwab and RF Kuang. I will probably watch them belatedly on catch-up in bed.
