Last Thursday, for episode 20 of The Scottish Independence Podcast I spoke with the Rev Stu Campbell from the Wings Over Scotland website.
That website has now become so popular it is not merely an observer of but could even be considered an actor on the Scottish political stage.
Strangely, given that introduction, one of the things we talked about was the pretty poor behaviour of Scottish politician when they are (metaphorically at least) on the big stage.
We also talked about the site itself and what was the motivation for it, and Stu filled some of that mysterious history of his too.
Whether or not Yes Scotland should be trying to be more aggressive or not came up, as did the (mis)fortunes and (mis)adventures of Scottish Labour.
We came up with some reasons to be optimistic even though polls aren't showing Indy in the lead yet - they didn't involve pandas.
Finally, will some of the overtly pro-union media jump ship?
Hope you enjoy...
