Anticipation is heating up for the Euros - and the conversation is ramping up in this week's episode of The Brian Taylor Podcast.Brian's joined by David Bol of The Herald, and an esteemed panel including Fiona Hyslop, Alex Cole-Hamilton and Craig Hoy. The group focus their attention on the upcoming Euros, in particular the dedicated fan space created in Glasgow Green, where thousands are expected to attend in the coming weeks. Brian asks the question: should this fan zone be cancelled? They then turn their focus to the EU sausage row and discuss what this really means for the UK. And finally, they look to The Herald's front page on Thursday, and discuss the teaching of history in Scotland's schools, and whether or not it has become 'too nationalist'.____________________________________________________________Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/curiosityLicense code: SFVY2IZ7ELOZLWMR See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Chris Mason presents political debate and discussion.
Chris Mason presents political debate from Broadcasting House, London.
In this week's look at politics from a Scottish perspective the Dominic Cummings affair rumbles on and its impact socially and politically can't be underestimated. What it also brought into sharp perspective was the limited grasp on factual evidence the UK government in general, and Boris Johnson in particular, has when making big decisions. We focus on the appearance of the PM before the Parliamentary Liaison Committee, the decision to abandon the Hybrid Commons procedures, and the easing of lockdown in England. Lesley also examines the apparent flouting of Scottish government guidelines over the past weekend. The United States has erupted with protests over the killing of George Floyd and we look on in shock at the events leading to the Black Lives Matter demonstrations.It's been five years since the death of Sheku Bayoh in police custody but it's taken until now for the remit of the public inquiry into his death to be announced.Is this good enough? Fiona Hyslop,the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Fair Work & Culture, has said that a Scots lockdown exit must deliver a greener, fairer, economy? Is this on the cards without a local, communitarian approach? I chip in with my thoughts on crisis leadership and , yet another, rant on the lack of rapid rebuttal to misinformation from the SNP Media team. There's also musings on golf course conversations and nail bars.
Parce que le Brexit, c'est pas une mince affaire, on a fait un épisode spécial d'Ecosse Toujours pour tenter de tirer les choses au clair.

There's only one place to begin this week and it's the, less than, surprise resignation of seven Labour MPs to form TIG-The Independent Group. Lesley and I try to get our heads round why now, what for, and what next for this disparate group. This speculation, inevitably for us, leads us down several highways and bye ways including proportional representation, and the founding of the Scottish Labour Party in 1888. Just when you thought the hoo ha surrounding BBC Question Time had died down the National revealed the editing of Fiona Hyslop's reply to orange jaiket man. We draw on our past experiences in teaching, producing, and presenting to examine the ethics and editorial decisions behind it. The Scottish Tories have been out in force across the streets and on social media fulminating about the Workplace Parking Levy. Lesley not only ripostes their arguments against it but widens the discussion to reflect on the nature of our relationships with private and public transport. Finally, it's hats aff tae the inestimable Jim Spence new rector of Dundee University and Arab of good standing. Laborare et orare James.
Scotland's Culture Minister Fiona Hyslop says the BBC is not spending enough of the licence fee cash raised north of the border in Scotland. Journalists are accused of unfairly harvesting information for stories from children's social media accounts. Is this legitimate use of information that has been put into the public arena? Or should anything posted online by a child always be off-limits to the media no matter what? Channel Four launches a new foreign language drama on demand service called Walter Presents. We hear from Walter.

Sorry for the truly dreadful title but the 58th episode of The Scottish Independence Podcast comes from a recent Yes Leith/Edinburgh North West Event, and thanks to them for letting me reproduce it as a podcast.It took place last month and the speakers were, in this order, Fiona Hyslop the Scottish culture secretary, Robin McAlpine from the Reid Foundation (here's his new-ish blog too), Michelle Thomson from Business for Scotland and Colin Fox from the SSP (and he's got a rather good line in his bit).The question and answer session at the end is also worth listening to.Hope you enjoyLINKShttp://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com/https://twitter.com/YesENLhttp://www.businessforscotland.co.uk/https://twitter.com/MichelleThomsonhttps://twitter.com/FionaHyslophttps://twitter.com/colinfoxssp
In this week's Media Show from Salford, Steve speaks to the Scottish minister for culture Fiona Hyslop on her vision for broadcasting in an independent Scotland. It's been suggested that Scotland would have its own public service broadcaster based on the existing staff and assets of BBC Scotland, should it gain independence, so could this work? And Steve questions how the government could ensure people could get access to popular programmes, like Eastenders, should the BBC cease to exist in the country. It's been 18 months since the controversial BBC move to Salford was completed. A wide range of programmes including Match of the Day, Blue Peter, and BBC Sport are now produced there. However, questions have been raised about the cost of the move and the scale of the allowances paid to some staff to relocate. Steve talks to Peter Salmon, Director of BBC North, about whether the move has met it's key objectives to better serve audiences in the north, and improve the quality of content. And a young journalist from the developing world will be announced as the winner of a new award being sponsored by the Thomson Foundation. The finalists are all under 30, working in countries with a GDP per capital of less than $20,000. They are Judy Kosgei, a former childrens radio presenter from Kenya; investigative journalist Neha Dixit from India, and award-winning science writer Toyosi Ogunseye from Nigeria. Steve speaks to the winner about how the award will better their career in journalism. Producer: Katy Takatsuki.
