The Tribe Sanctuary, The Homeless Comedian, and the Micropig

BBC Radio Scotland - Our Lives with Michelle McManus, The Tribe Sanctuary, The Homeless Comedian, and the Micropig

Animal lover Morag, from high life to homeless, and Francesco the pig.

Morag Sangster sold her city home, escaped to the country, and set up a sanctuary for farm animals in need of  a little TLC. Michelle hears how she ended up sharing her house with Francesco, a twenty stone pet pig. Knowing well the highs and lows of instant fame, Michelle chats with Gary Faulds, whose comic videos became a social media sensation. Soon Gary was packing out auditoriums, but when Covid hit, he had to declare himself homeless.

You can find information and support around homelessness by looking up the BBC Action Line Homelessness.
