ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Susan Dalgety, Andrew Liddle & Dean Thomson's Speakeasy pours out Scottish political wisdom.
We seek to have nuanced, adult conversations with fascinating people about all things Scottish & Glaswegian politics.
All guests participate assuming honest intent on each other’s part. And seeks to have sincere discussion concerning difficult topics. As G.K Chesterton once wrote, “Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly”, and this is the benchmark we aspire to reach. More light, less heat & oodles of sincerity.
