GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Ann Marie McGivern is a Vaccine injured.  GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: John Mair is one of the most prolific editors of books on modern journalism in Britain today. This publication is his 24th ‘hackademic' text; he is currently putting together the 25th – on ‘Anti-Social Media'. The books bring together the work of journalists and academics to discuss vital issues such as data journalism, Brexit, Trump and the media, the death of print and the Leveson Inquiry. The genre he invented – with books jointly edited with Richard Tait, Tor Clark, Richard Lance Keeble, Raymond Snoddy and others – is widely recognised as constituting a major addition to contemporary journalism studies. John has practised journalism at the BBC, Channel Four and other broadcasters and taught it at the universities of Coventry, Westminster, Brunel, Kent and Edinburgh Napier. He has judged the British Press Awards, the British Journalism Awards, the Royal Television Society Journalism Awards and helped to set up the Steve Hewlett Memorial Lecture and Scholarships.  

Rick Stainton, the man behind creative agency Smyle, founded One Industry One Voice (OIOV) in the eye of the pandemic as a ‘coalition of associations and businesses created to champion the entire events industry'.   In this episode, Rick explains why OIOV has recently been rebranded The Power of Events (TPOE) – a partnership with, but not limited to, Greenwich, Westminster, Surrey, Leeds Beckett, Bournemouth, UWS, Edinburgh Napier, Ulster, Swansea and Cardiff Met.   A persuasive speaker with a whole lot to say, Rick talks about the Covid-19 impact and his ‘diplomatic crusade' which brought OIOV together two long years ago, getting commitment from myriad trade associations and businesses.    Rick goes on to mention the opportunities and the recovery process, the potential for newcomers, as well as the lack of respect from the media and government, and how that fits with a ‘completely party agnostic, non-lobbying' TPOE.  

In episode 157 UNP founder and curator Grant Scott is in his shed considering the fact that the podcast has reached the 'troublesome two's' with its second birthday, whilst reflecting on some of the key themes, dreams and schemes that have developed over the last 157 episodes. Plus this week photographer David Eustace takes on the challenge of supplying Grant with an audio file no longer than 5 minutes in length in which he answer's the question ‘What Does Photography Mean to You?'

On the success of this project he was asked in 2010 to create another portfolio in Scotland titled Highland Heart. In 2011 he was honoured with an Hon Dr of Arts by Edinburgh Napier and in 2012 and 2014 Panasonic based their national Lumix TV and print campaign around his work and featured him in their cinema and tv commercials. Eustace's work has been exhibited in both private galleries and national museums, and he was the subject of a 30 minute BBC documentary. In 2015 he was the first photographer to have an exhibition in The Scottish Gallery's 173-year history and in the same year he became Chancellor of Edinburgh Napier University.

Welcome to the third episode of Unit 2: Supporting the online learner. In this episode we’ll be discussing digital literacy, which given the struggles that we have had on the module in engaging with audio and trying to become familiar with the functionality of Moodle for your seminars, may be coming at just the right time. This podcast comes to you from Edinburgh Napier, where Laurence Patterson, BOE Programme Leader, talks about digital literacy. We think this is a brilliant interview because in conversation with Colin, Laurence clarifies and explores the concept of digital literacy and in so doing, he distinguishes in a really useful way amongst related terms (such as information literacy) that are sometimes used interachangeably (mistakenly in our view!). So whether you’re new or familiar with this pedagogical vocabulary and the discussion that often surrounds these concepts, we expect that there will be something for everyone in this podcast.

The 83rd episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast is with Robin MacPherson, who seems to be a very busy man.He is Professor of Screen Media at Edinburgh Napier University, director of Screen Academy Scotland and of the Institute for Creative Industries at Edinburgh Napier. He makes documentaries, current affairs and drama including the BAFTA-nominated , The Butterfly Man. In 1997, he established Asylum Pictures, an independent production company whose films include the Scottish-BAFTA nominated documentary, Tree Fellers, and (as co-producer) the award-winning Fellini: I'm a born liar. Since 2008 he has led ENGAGE, an EU MEDIA-funded collaboration with the Irish, Estonian and Finnish national film schools. In 2010 he was appointed by the Scottish Government to the Board of Creative Scotland and in April 2011 he joined the Board of Creative Edinburgh. Oh and he blogs too.Frankly, I'm amazed he managed to find the time to come on, but he did, and we talked about the current situation with regard to the creative industries in Scotland. Is the union holding us back and how could independence improve things?Should Scotland have its own film studio? What would be the benefits and the drawbacks?We talked about the creative output that the referendum campaign itself has generated. Has there been anything inspiring?And as ever, I asked why this week's guest supports Independence for Scotland.
