  • Getting Rid of Scotland’s Nuclear Weapons

    Really enjoyed the main interview in this episode with three Scottish CND activists. It marks the first anniversary of the UN Nuclear Weapons Prohibition Treaty. And wow, what an example of two campaigns reinforcing each other: an independent Scotland would certainly become signature to TPNW and the TPNW would certainly provide support to Scotland’s negotiations to get rid of Trident. And who knows what that would mean for the UK’s nuclear arsenal.

  • I realise these reviews are primarily for the podcast as a whole and I will admit some parts of it I don't bother with. (not a fan of poetry for instance). But I utterly utterly love Stuart McHardy's Radical look at Scottish History. I would live this to be a more detailed and stand alone podcast. Highly recommended and a must listen for anyone with an interest in Scotlands past.
