Episode Information
Even more St Kilda - We return to St Kilda's past where the fear of being inundated by the sea did not put people off removing sand from the sand dunes.
We call them Karens' but they were just busy bodies back then and we have some examples as well as odd financial dealings that would have Rate Payers Groups hopping mad today.
Also new book reviews.

Episode Information
Censorship at the Athenaeum - One of our members took out an old Ken Follett and when she brought it back she said 'what's the story with the missing pages?' and she showed me that six pages were missing. So Rosalie the librarian before me had censored this book. I was able to uncover some of the story behind this and share it with our listeners.
