For the first Scottish Independence Podcast interview after the referendum, I spoke with former MSP, national co-spokesperson for the Scottish Socialist Party and member of the Yes Campaign, Colin Fox.

We talked about what the Yes campaign achieved, and will achieve in future and how, despite the disappointment of the loss, it's only S.I.D.

You can find out what S.I.D. is in the interview.

Apart from that we had to talk about the Tory assault on human rights, why Labour™ (or the Red Tories™ if you prefer), are getting it in the neck and the BBC and their wonderfully impartial and not at all defend-the-status-quo-at-all-costs type coverage.

We also got on to what a Yes alliance could do in the future.

There's all that and much more.

Hope you enjoy...

Taking my lead from the No campaign, I've decided to give this new episode a misleading title.

It isn't Angry Salmond from twitter, but rather you're actual Alex Salmond making a speech that was not televised or broadcast, shortly after he resigned.

Amongst other things he promises to say what he really thinks about BP, the BBC and so on after he is no longer First Minister.

I'd absolutely be interested in hearing that.

It's definitely worth the listen...

Hope you enjoy...

We'll go again.

For the 94th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast I spoke to Philippa Whitford.

Philippa is an NHS doctor and has been making some of the best speeches of the entire Independence Campaign.

Specifically she has been outlining why the Scottish NHS is more than just under threat if there is a No vote, it is in fact in serious trouble.

In the podcast we talked about why that is the case but we also talked about the broader independence campaign and what we thought Yes activists can do to push us over the line.

Finally, as ever, I asked my guest their personal reasons for supporting Scottish Independence.

Hope you enjoy…

On Wednesday 3rd of September I went along to the fantastic Songs For Scotland event in Oran Mor in Glasgow.

Artists such as Lady Alba, Dick Gaughan, Loki with Rebecca Wallace, Kathleen MacInnes, Findlay Napier, Shooglenifty and many more played to a full house in the beautiful setting designed by Alasdair Gray.

I spoke to some of the artists, organisers and crowd about their inspirations for doing the event (and of course why they support Scottish Independence.

The show is interspersed with some of the music from the evening as well.

Hope you enjoy...

For the 92nd episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast I spoke to Cat Boyd from the Radical Independence Campaign.

We expressed our joy at the arrival of the party leaders coming up from down south to tell us all what to think.

Well, no, we didn't, but we talked about what effect this might have on the campaign and if we think their desperate promises of more powers will be believed.

We talked about the diversity of one campaign and the homogeneity of the other. Can you guess which was which?

Finally, as ever, I asked my guest their personal reasons for supporting Scottish Independence.

If you're going mad watching the full-on Britnat assault on all channels now, here's a wee antidote.

For the 90th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast I spoke to Zara Kitson, from Green Yes and National Collective.

We talked about the campaign entering its final phase and the difference in how the two campaigns have been conducted.

I asked about Green Yes and what they have managed to during the campaign.

Farage is going to get a lot of coverage when he comes up, but when Natalie Bennett, who is the leader of the Green Party in England & Wales - which actually does have an MP, came up to support Independence, it passed almost without mention? Why so?

Finally, as ever, I asked my guest their personal reasons for supporting Scottish Independence.

With a great thanks to all the people who volunteered their time to narrate a section, I'm happy to present an audio version of The Wee Blue Book.

It's free to download, so download it, and get others to do so.

Hope you enjoy.

For the 90th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast I spoke to Math Campbell, from the campaign group English Scots For Yes.

We talked about how well their group has been going and why it got started.

I also asked him about the experience in general of being an English Scot campaigning for Independence.

He also gave his opinion on some of the more bizarre stuff coming out in the media south of the border re the referendum (e.g. Katie Hopkins).

What could Scottish Independence do for the rest of the UK?

Finally, as ever, I asked my guest their personal reasons for supporting Scottish Independence.

For this episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast I did the first of a few outside broadcast shows that are coming up.

Yesterday's big event in Glasgow was Radical Indy's Glasgow Takeover.

100s of Indy activists from many different groups were all over the city centre and turned it into a large independence event for the day.

I managed to catch up with some of the organisers, some of the speakers and some of the activists to ask what they were up to.

Hope you enjoy...
