A Moment of challenge - Indypodcasters react to FM's speech


Listen Later

In this episode, indypodcasters Fiona and Marlene  share our honest reactions to John Swinney’s speech A Moment of Challenge. We chat through the bits that genuinely landed for us, the moments that made us pause, and a couple of lowlights that didn’t quite hit the mark.

 One thing that really stood out to us was the clear difference between the tone and framing of questions from the audience and the BBC's effort. 

The link to the full speech is below, why not watch it and share your reactions in the comments!

Key moments:

00:01:01   What threatens Scotland?
00:05:06   How Uk does not act in Scotland's interests
00:11:22   The Brexit Disaster
00:17:00   Sir Neil MacCormick on sovereignty and power
00:18:30   Solutions
00:22:21   The case for rejoining the EU
00:25:08   Question from BBC Shortbread
