In the wake of the Brexit voted I was directed by a friend to the Lesley Riddoch Podcast. I listen from a distance in the north of Ireland. it has been a breath of fresh Scottish air in the often stale political atmosphere this wee antechamber to the Yookay. I enjoy Lesley’s analysis, her energy and passion for a new democratic settlement in an independent Scotland. I share her frustration and exasperation with the antiquated British state. Paddy Joyce is a wonderful interlocutor. Slightly further to the left than Lesley, more a socialist in the tradition of James Connolly than social democratic. Together they produce a stimulating and informative podcast every week. I await its arrival like two old friends now. One word of dire warning. Paddy is a Dundee United fan. Gives the team a mention every week. Now, I’m checking the team’s results each week. I’m becoming… ‘involved’. … If you’re not already following the podcast, you should. It’s a great place to keep abreast of Scottish politics. And even if you’re not in Scotland, you’ll appreciate the Scottish perspective on the shenanigans at Westminster.
A go to podcast for those who remain hopeful

Lesley has a work rate, output and a range of interests that would be astounding for someone decades younger. And unlike our so called national broadcaster she takes her show & her impeccable research on the road to all parts of Scotland. Keep up the good work Lesley & Pat.

This show is like the mince your gran used to make you, full fat, packed full of lovely fresh root veg, with just that little hint of sherry & a big dollop of buttery mashed tatties. I’d call it absolute mince.
One of the best.
