Lesley Riddoch

Whose side are you on, Lesley?

This week's podcast deals with the implications of David Cameron's speech and using readers' letters goes some way to explaining why Lesley is 'claimed' by both sides in any argument.

The TV versus Radio with Crowdsourced Constitutions Podcast

Difficult to put this podcast into one simple category. Lesley explains the difference between TV and Radio audiences and their effect on debates. And there is a brief explanation about the new Icelandic constitution which was written using social media and which will be the subject of a Nordic Horizons presentation in March.

Clocks trending Simon says

More of a crossword clue than the title of a podcast episode; but it has been that sort of week. Daylight Savings gets 'talked out', social media is discussed by youngsters. And Simon Hughes mumbles about devolution. And Lesley is going to be a token Tory...now if that doesn't pique your interest into listening to this week's 'Lesley Riddoch Podcast' - I don't know what will. 

'Any Questions' Uncovered - the podcast

It was a week where fiesty women were much in evidence. Joan McAlpine had a tweet flare up, Margaret Curran and Nicola Sturgeon faced off on Question Time and Lesley joined the panel at 'Any Questions'. So, lots to talk about this week in the Lesley Riddoch Podcast. And some revelations about 'Any Questions'.

 

A podcast about a referendum...surely not

This week, it has been a steady stream of pronouncements about the referendum to be held about Scottish independence. As you will have gathered from this blog; a lot of the verbiage is 'old news'; however it seem fitting to have a bash at it in this week's Lesley Riddoch Podcast. Enjoy.

One before Christmas ?

Previously...history festivals and green awards

This week, it's back to business with an update to the question "what happens when you let the historians take over the comedy club?" And there is mention of green awards, wind turbines and customer service. Something for everyone!

Scots, Empire, Alyth and History

In this week's 'Lesley Riddoch Podcast', Lesley meets John M MacKenzie, academic, historian and author. In a wide ranging conversation, the topics of Scotland and the Empire, Rae and Livingstone, independence, Alyth and history are all under the microscope. 

Lesley is back and has lots to say...

In the weeks since the last 'Lesley Riddoch Podcast, a few things have happened. Amongst the names that will be referenced are Dr Liam Fox, Colonel Gaddafi, Robbie Savage and Russell Grant. Health will also come to the fore in a packed podcast.

Normal service resumed....next week

Between finishing scanning obscure Norwegian archives and preparation for next week's Nordic Horizon's event; there will be no podcast this week. I am sure there will still be the threat of an Icelandic eruption, more politicians misbehaving and other news worthy items when we come to record this weekend. So apologies, but we will be back very soon.
