Humza Yousaf's closing speech to the SNP annual conference in Aberdeen is the focus of this week's episode.
He began as do we with his response to the developing humanitarian disaster in Gaza and the atrocities carried out by Hamas.
We compare and contrast his measured and humane approach to that of Sir Keir Starmer before going on to give our initial impressions of the speech itself and the measures he announced within it.
Tommy Shephard, one of the key movers behind the new SNP independence strategy took time out of the conference to explain it to us.
Along the way we also examine the SNP in crisis narrative and the defection of Dr Lisa Cameron to the Tories.
