Podcasting Scottish independence ...

Back in the middle of August, Michael Greenwell popped over to Oxford to record the second in his itinerant series of Scottish Independence podcasts, which...

"... attempt to discuss some of the real choices coming up for Scotland without the jingoism and, frankly, the silliness, that surrounds much of the debate at the moment."

Michael's first episode was a conversation with Donald Adamson of the University of Cambridge.  His second was with me: a wide-ranging discussion on the contemporary ums and ahs around the independence referendum, a little on the polling and the legalities, we also attempted a few coarse prophecies about the political future after 2014, whether Scotland steps back onto the world stage as a sovereign state, or continues, a stateless nation, within the circumference of a disjointed, but still more or less United Kingdom.

You can listen or download to our full conversation here.

If you prefer, you can also download our discussion via iTunes.
