James E interviews author Frank McGroarty

Author, broadcaster, former ballroom dancer and indylive.radio DJ Frank "Frankie boy" McGroarty has just released the third of his trilogy of books based on his time as a redcoat at Butlins Ayr.  In this interview, James E and Frank chat about the creative process, what it was really like working at Butlins (spoiler:  yes, people regularly asked "what time is the midnight show on") and which of the characters is most closely based on Frank himself.
Frank has a website www.frankmcgroarty.com and his three books, "What time does the Midnight cabaret start", "how do you get the donkey up the stairs" and "don't mention hi-de-hi" are available at good bookshops.

The Nation Talks - about the Witches of Scotland

A slight departure from the normal format for the TNT Show this week, as host John Drummond welcomes two guests, Zoe Venditozzi and Claire Mitchell QC to discuss the dark period in Scottish history when innocent people, mainly women, found themselves accused of witchcraft.
Zoe and Claire have their own podcast: www.witchesofscotland.com/podcast  
Their aim is to secure a pardon and memorial for all those convicted under the Witchcraft Act 1563.  
A fascinating discussion on an important historical injustice
 

Scotonomics Episode 1 June2021 - Economic Sovereignty

SCOTONOMICS. Nourishment for independent minds. Economics professor Fadhel Kaboub https://twitter.com/FadhelKaboub Outlines what it means to have true economic sovereignty. He discussed how and why small/medium sized nations like Scotland must strive for sovereignty. Monetary sovereignty is the most important aspect of sovereignty and this underpins an economy. Monetary sovereignty allows a government to issue (its own) currency rather than use (another countries) currency. As well as monetary sovereignty Fadhel outlines the importance of food security, technological capabilities and energy security as three more ways that countries protect their sovereignty. Fadhel covered Scotland, the nation's relationship with the rest of the UK and Europe (and was strongly against Scotland joining the Euro) and Singapore and Tunisia to expand on his ideas of sovereignty. Fadhel also, briefly, covered Modern Monetary Theory.
