Media Gallery

Our free media gallery gives you the opportunity to listen to, or view, a selection of Edinburgh International Book Festival events and related material and gives a good flavour of our August programme. Material can be streamed or downloaded. You’ll find lively podcasts with author chats and interesting snippets, unedited hour-long author events in our audio archive (including transcriptions of some events) and selected highlights in our video archive.

Search tips

To find material on specific authors or subjects enter a name or keyword into the site search field (top right of the website) - for example: Atwood, Salman, Louise Rennison etc or food, travel, crime, politics, environment, education, Africa, children, schools, poetry etc.

Each year we choose a selection of events which we think give a good overall flavour of the Book Festival's August programme and record them for our onlie audio archive. From poetry to crime writing, fantasy fiction to history, our audio archive holds a great range of recordings of the full hour-long live events as they happened.
