HARLOW podcaster Martin Colton had a very productive time at the Edinburgh Festival.

It was quite a scoop to get the new chief executive of the Edinburgh Fringe to sit down with him and discuss his journey, vision, and passion for the arts.

From leading South Africa’s National Arts Festival to steering Riverside Studios in London through the challenges of the pandemic, Tony brings a wealth of experience and a deep love for creativity and connection. Together, we explore what makes the open-access ethos of the Fringe so vital, why the arts matter more than ever today, and how Edinburgh continues to inspire artists and audiences alike. 🌟🎤

Recorded live in Edinburgh during the Fringe, this conversation is more than an introduction—it’s a call to celebrate art in all its forms, embrace creativity without limits, and see the world through new perspectives.

Whether you’re an artist, a dreamer, or simply someone who loves the transformative power of live performance, this episode will leave you inspired and uplifted.
