'Who owns the Clyde?' is a podcast series co-produced and hosted by crime writer Louise Welsh and architect Jude Barber in association with producer Halina Rafai. The three-part investigation explores how complexities around ownership of the Clyde impact Glasgow’s historic waterfront. It asks what this means for the river’s future and how the Clyde could be reclaimed and reimagined for the benefit of citizens and visitors.

Contributors to the podcast include local politicians and activists as well as Clydeside residents and workers. Each episode offers a rich kaleidoscope of voices, music and soundscapes.

Welsh and Barber have collaborated since 2014 on a project called The Empire Café. Its activities encourage conversations about history, land ownership and the ongoing effects of Empire through cross-cultural events, writing, visual arts, public discussions, sound-based works, and more.
