Stuart and Eamonn are back to dissect the happenings in the media! Labour Together have been up to some suspicious stuff, bringing Keir Starmer's position into more doubt, the BBC are looking to claw back £600 million in lost licence fee payments, and Bella Caledonia believes that Scotland has a “one-dimensional media class that all says the same thing and all agrees about everything” - are they right? The guys also answer a listeners' question and offer up their recommendations (links below!) Stuart Cosgrove recommends… HH: Helenio Herrera - Football's Original Master of the Dark Arts by Richard Fitzpatrick - https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/hh-9781399425087/ Eamonn O'Neill recommends… Small prophets (BBC) - https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m002q765/small-prophets The Great Santini, starring the late Robert Duvall - https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/great_santini

We're delighted to welcome Laura Webster, Editor of The National to the show. Unfortunately Laura is suffering with a really bad cold and had to record from home, which shows a little in the quality of the audio but her contributions are wonderful as always and I'm sure that all of our listeners will take a lot from the show. Stuart and Laura pick over the fallout from that front page of The National and discuss what's next for Anas Sarwar, as well as answering questions from our patrons in the main show.

This week Stuart and Eamonn return as they dissect the Epstein files released by the US Department of Justice and ask what they mean for some of the major names implicated in the convicted paedophile's crimes.  This is the big story of the week, for obvious reasons, but the guys also touched on the mass layoffs at The Washington Post and Jeff Bezos' role in that. Alex MacDonald asked a great question about Reform's latest tactics which Eamonn covered off about halfway through the show too - we hope it answered your question on Farage's next steps Alex!

This week it's a very special episode of Talk Media as we welcome the First Minister of Scotland and leader of the SNP, John Swinney MSP, to the programme.  In conversation with broadcaster Stuart Cosgrove, the First Minister chats about his media tastes, his takes on his portrayal by the media, and Stuart even manages to get some fresh insight into some stories that he was recently a major part of. He also shares his thoughts on Nigel Farage and the rise of Reform UK in Scotland.

This week, in the second of our series of deep dives, we are talking about Ukraine with Talk Media pal David Pratt. We are really grateful to David for bringing his real life experiences and insights to the podcast and listeners. This podcast was recorded in advance of release.

We've taken this opportunity to welcome Talk Media regular David Pratt in to the studio to record this 2 part series starting with Palestine. With Trump taking up so much of the news space, this gives us a chance to do a deep dive into this horrific conflict that seems to have dropped down the news cycle. A huge thanks to David for taking the time to come in and give us the benefit of his experience and expertise. Part 2 Ukraine will be available next week.

This week we've gone for 2 topics and 7 listener questions. Get the kettle on! We made the 6 part podcast Hunting The Whisky Bandits with BBC Disclosure. Check itnout here https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0029kxz

If you want to submit a question for the boys, please fire us a question in by 2pm on a Wednesday in the comments areas or messaging areas of Patreon and we will do our best to get it discussed.
