Podcast: What's happening in Scotland and why the rest of the UK should care

What's going on in Scotland, why the English should care about it: this week's NovaraMedia podcast was a discussion with current and former OurKingdom co-editors.

On Friday, Aaron Bastani of NovaraMedia discussed Scotish independence with former OurKingdom editor Niki Seth-Smith and current OurKingdom co-editor Adam Ramsay. Up for discussion were the politics of the SNP, the nature of the debate, and why it should matter to the people - and the political left in particular, in the rest of the UK.
