After the pain of the content in the MadVent(ing) calendar, it is time to return to the good stuff.

This episode of the podcast features some little bits in the indyref debate that might have escaped your attention but are well worth the listen.

I would have had it out yesterday but was having some connection issues so here it is for you today.

Hope you enjoy…

For the 44th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast the guest was Alastair Hutchison from the group Lib Dem Voters for Indy.

We talked about the group and how it got started. We talked about why liberals may or may not make the jump from federalism to independence and we talked about why the Libdems didn't join with SNP in 2007, when such a thing might have been the logical step.

Alastair is also a Hearts fan, and we talked about Hearts fans and how the debate is playing out in a group that unusually includes Alex Salmond AND George Foulkes.

It's also the 100th podcast in total that we've done.

Hope you've been enjoying them!

All this week the Scottish Independence Podcast, alongside our regular programming, will be bringing you The MadVent(ing) Calendar.

It’s a sort of cross between and Advent Calendar and Pandora’s Box, you open at your own risk.

They’re all very short and I won’t be telling you what each one is in the intro, just like an advent calendar, you’ll have to open it up to see what’s inside.

For the 43rd episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast I spoke with Lesley Riddoch, writer, blogger, broadcaster, podcaster and speaker.

The conversation took in a number of things including what's to be done now, and why it can't wait for the referendum, the lack of empowerment in Scottish communities and why the official Yes campaign may or may not have to walk a tightrope but the rest of us should be getting stuck right into it.

There's also a radical suggestion about what's to be done about the Scotsman, but you'll have to listen to find it out what it is.

Hope you enjoy

The 42nd episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast comes from a talk given by Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp from the organisation Business for Scotland.

It's really quite remarkable to hear a lot of the things he talks about spelled out so clearly and there are a lot of great little facts you could use in conversation in there as well.

Who really bailed out RBS and HBOS, for example?

Which is more volatile, the oil price or the stock market?

Find out how we're also subsidising England when we die.

I think you'll also find that most, if not all, of the issues brought up would compliment rather than go against the Common Weal vision that Robin McAlpine spelled out in our last episode.

Hope you enjoy…
