Information

what do you want? information!

"The times have changed in nothing more...than in the rapid conveyance of intelligence and communication betwixt one part of Scotland and another."
Walter Scott

Courteous listeners, we present you with The Co-operative as it has never been heard before. Our music this week explores different facets of Information - Jill Scott is paranoid, Doctor Rockit sings a hymn and Kraftwerk beep. We speak to the archivist and librarian from Glasgow Women's Library, who tell us all sorts of fascinating things about their collection and the hot topics in archival theory. We also have Information Flow, the first instalment of our sci-fi serial Tropic Of Clyde, in which a mysterious package makes a convoluted journey from London to Glasgow. Set in an indeterminate future, it involves trains, forests and spies, and the internet has become a dangerous weapon to which few have access.

Check our blog-in-progress. We'll be posting information and contact details about out interviews and scripts of Tropic Of Clyde, as well as pictures and our map of themes. Let us know your thoughts - you can talk to us on or blog, or email us at glasgow.cooperative@gmail.com. Keep your ears peeled for our next show on the theme of Clothes.
