The second episode of Redgauntlet examines the role of writers, storytellers and artists in shaping our politics. In the 1980s and 1990s – so the story goes – writers, artists and intellectuals prodded Scotland towards constitutional change, giving voice to a working class that was muted by the Union. Amidst the doldrums of devolution, sometimes it feels as if those times are past.


To explore what currents of culture are taking the Left – and Scotland – toward a better future, Cailean Gallagher is joined in Edinburgh by Erin Farley and Scott Hames.
