The immense cultural contribution made by two maverick Scottish independent music labels, Fast Product and Postcard, cannot be underestimated. Bob Last and Hilary Morrison in Edinburgh, followed by Alan Horne and Edwyn Collins in Glasgow, helped to create a confidence in being Scottish that hitherto had not existed in pop music (or the arts in general in Scotland). Their fierce independent spirit stamped a mark of quality and intelligence on everything they achieved. Hungry Beat is a definitive oral history of these labels and the Scottish post-punk period.

A collection of original short stories based around particular themes such as slowing down, listening, forgiving. These stories explore aspects of our humanity, and encourage us into a better understanding of ourselves and of those around us. The stories have been inspired by Scripture, but are set in contemporary culture, and each illustrates some aspect of loving or failing to love.
