Scottish Independence Podcasts

Beyond the Sustainable Growth Commission

Independence Live recently hosted an online conference on the subject of the Sustainable Growth Commission. 
In this first part of a two part series, we bring you the audio from the presentations at that conference.
First we have some thoughts on the Growth Commission Report from our panel of experts consisting of Dr Craig Dalzell, Dr Tim Rideout, Kairin van Sweeden and Professor Richard Murphy, followed by an essential "jargon busting" explanation of the various terms that we need to understand to move the debate forward.  
Next we have a lively debate hosted by Ruth Wishart with George Kerevan and Dr Tim Rideout answering the most common questions that are thrown up in the current independence debate.
Part 2 of the conference will follow tomorrow
