Alex Salmond was a huge figure in Scottish politics. The nation’s former First Minister and the leader of Scotland’s independence movement for over 40 years. In this episode of the Pod we talk to Kenny MacAskill, one of Alex’s oldest friends and political ally through it all.
We discuss the man, his politics, and his trial, the party he built and how it nearly destroyed him. 25 years after the opening of the Scottish Parliament and 10 years after the independence referendum, we ask what now for Scotland and the fight for independence.
