Media Politics - Getting Our Message Across

All Scottish Independence supporters know that the weight of UK media is against us. The BBC deploys subtle - and not so subtle - tactics on a daily basis to undermine what it sees as a threat to the increasingly DISunited Kingdom. In this episode we chat to our guests about their experiences and how they find ways to get their message across.
Our first guests are Jane Davidson and Sylvia Willmot who started a conversation in Facebook which turned into an invitation onto our show. You can watch the extended version of this conversation on our  @ScottishIndyPodExtra  channel
Our second guest is Professor John Robertson who runs the very popular blog called Talking Up Scotland. You can find out more about the blog on the website talkingupscotlandtwo.com

MPs John MacNally and Martyn Day are joined in their Westminster offices by guests  Bert McLennan and  Calum Cooper to discuss different kinds of democracy and electoral systems to be found in USA and Ireland. 
There are also some fascinating predictions for the outcome of the Republican presidential candidates - which may need to be updated now that Trump has been indicted!

We talk to Jane McAllister creator of new documentary ”To See Ourselves”

We talk to film maker Jane McAllister about her documentary film To See Ourselves.
The film looks at the run up to the 2014 Scottish Independence vote and follows the tireless campaigning efforts of her activist father.
The ambition, frustration, heartbreak, joy and hope of those days are captured in the film.
You can watch the trailer for the film here 
If you would like to help support this ambitious project there is a Kickstarter campaign which you can contribute to  here

Coronation Day Indy March - Not Our King

Most Scots seemed largely indifferent to the Coronation which was certainly not reflected in the wall to wall obsequiousness of the mainstream media offering.
Instead we decided to escape the TV to join more than 20 thousand pals on a wee jaunt through Glasgow.  Marlene and Fiona battled the elements to create an outdoor podcast recording with, it has to be said, mixed results, but here are all the best bits of the day!
Obviously we can't bring the spectacle and colour of an independence march to an audio podcast, but you can watch clips and the video version of this podcast on our Youtube channel Scottish Independence Podcasts Indypod Extra
