2014/04/22

The 68th episode of The Scottish Independence Podcast comes from a recent yes event in Motherwell with thank to Independence Live, who are making a great job of filming these events).Scotland is full of Independence events at the moment, and the Yes campaign is reaching many many communities around Scotland.Obviously however, it is not possible for everyone to go to every meeting, and it is not possible for some to go to any meetings, so I think it is important to spread the ones that are recorded

2014/04/17

A few months ago, after I'd interviewed a couple of MSPs (John Finnie and Jean Urquhart), I asked them and their assistants if they would be able to put me in touch with Margo MacDonald or her assistant, and then maybe we could set something up.I got the contact for her assistant and it seemed she was willing to come on and give the show a try, but I should ask again a bit later on when she had more time.Unfortunately, we never got round to it before she passed away.However, what I've done here is

Our returning guest this time was Gary Dunion, who, amongst a number of other things is the Communications Director for the Scottish Greens. The first thing we discussed was the passing of Margo MacDonald, and how the parliament may well be a much poorer place without her. We

For the 66th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast I spoke with Alistair Davidson.Alistair runs a small think tank called the Centre for Technology and Society and will be writing the digital rights part of the Reid Foundation's Common Weal project.We spoke about the use of social media in the campaign so far but I suppose the juicier parts of the interview were those explaining what Snowden really means, as although Glenn Greenwald defended himself brilliantly in that famous interview, we

"I believe there's a space in Europe, it's an empty space, and it's shaped like Scotland."For the 65th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast I spoke with George Gunn and if you want another juicy quote from it try the following..."The real labour party doesn't exist. That's a kind of Anti-Brigadoon that we could live without."George is a poet and playwright who, amongst other things, has also produced for BBC radio, writes over at Bella Caledonia and has been a deep sea fisherman and a north

For the 64th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast I spoke with Baron Wallace of Tankerness and I could not have hoped for a more distinguised guest.

The 62nd episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast is the first in a series of lectures on Scottish Independence organised by the Radical Independence group.It is reproduced here with thanks to Pete Ramand and James Foley.I'm not going to say too much about it, other than that if the others in the series are of this quality, a victory in the independence referendum should be on its way.Just listen...Hope you enjoy.

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2014/03/20

The 61st episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast comes from a speech made at the Radical Independence Conference by Professor Ailsa McKay, who recently passed away.Ailsa was recommended to me on three separate occasions as someone who I should try to get onto the show. I tried to get in touch but was obviously unaware of her illness.Nevertheless, the aforementioned speech she made was available and I decided to put it out as an MP3 so that it might reach some people who didn't see it

ScotIndyPod 60 - (Prof) John Robertson

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2014/03/16

For the 60th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast I spoke with John Robertson.John is the academic that recently published extensive research showing that the BBC has been favouring the No side in the Scottish Independence debate.The story however did not end there as the BBC began a series of, well, sleekit manouevres to play the man and not the ball. This resulted in, amongst other things, his appearance in front of a committee in the Scottish Parliament at which certain members seemed

For the 41st episode of the For A’ That podcast Andrew and I were joined by broadcaster and blogger Derek Bateman, former Socialist MSP and member of Women For Indy, Carolyn Leckie and writer and blogger William Duguid.First we talked about the Sturgeon/Lamont stramash. At the risk of going against one of the things we thought was bad about it, was the real knockout blow actually delivered to the political process itself? Is it too simple just to say it was awful and move on? Were they both equally

2014/02/18

The 55th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast is the first of two that aren't the usual interview format but rather some talks that are taken from here and there and will provide both useful information for campaigners, and I hope some enjoyable listening.This one comes from an event a few weeks back in Kirkcaldy and the speakers were Alistair Bruce, who is involved with Yes Kirkcaldy, Ross Ingerbergson who is a communications director for the SNP, Robin McAlpine who is the director of the

Also, Salmond's fiery reaction to it was worthy of note.The equal marriage bill has passed, and about time too say most of us but we had a look back at the road to getting to this position.We also talked about the SNP's continuing

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2014/02/07

It's the 53rd episode of The Scottish Independence Podcast and this time I spoke with William Duguid who on his own blog and for National Collective, has been writing some of the funnier stuff we've been seeing recently.In fact, that was one of the points of discussion, as we ruminated over Rory Bremner's assertion that there isn't enough comedy in this debate.William lived down (very) south for a long time so we also talked about the gap (well, chasm) between what is actually going on in Scotland
