Podcast appearances and mentions of George Square

In this second Episode of Glasgow we leave Glasgow Green and travel from the East, along the river Clyde and past the Clutha bar that suffered such a tragedy a few years ago. We pass through the centre, traversing St Vincent Street to see some fabulous buildings including a Greek and Egyptian styled church reflecting the eclectic architecture of Glasgow. The street names reflect famous people and battles that were fought and you will hear how Nelson lost his eye and hear about the building that now houses the implement that removed the shrapnel during the battle. You will hear of the callous poisoning of Madeleine Smith's lover and how on earth did she walk free having bought the arsenic just a few days before. We will cross over to Charing Cross and hear of the square mile of Murder. Then, onto the wonderful Gilbert Scott building that makes up Glasgow University and also to extraordinary Hunterian Museum before arriving at Byers Road. Fascinating places to hear about and some fascinating tales to tell.

Glasgow City – Episode 1 – A Panoramic Tour Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, is not the Capital of the country as that honour goes to Edinburgh with it's Royal Castle and Palace. There is however, a constant buzz around the city which boasts 5 Universities, the Oldest of which is Glasgow University founded in 1451. It hosts two of the best of Scotland's football teams and it is renowned for its nightlife and theatreland. The city has grown from the beginnings of an early church established in the 6th century by Saint Kentigern or Saint Mungo as he is know locally. Sadly most of the medieval city has gone and there is now an eclectic mix of architecture mainly from the late 18th century to the more modern 21st century buildings with only St Mungo's Cathedral and Provand's Lordship still standing from the much earlier period. In this first Episode, I am going to take you with me through the city streets, pointing out the main buildings and giving you background and context of what we see including wonderful architecture and extraordinary sculptures that adorn the city. We will start with how Glasgow came about and look at the symbols that adorn the city and are associated with it's Patron Saint, Saint Mungo. We will commence this panoramic tour of Glasgow starting at the centre of the city in George Square and we will look at some of the wonderful buildings including the City Chambers or the Mayor's office. We will be driving from the modern centre of the City, out to the Medieval Cathedral and down the old High Street and on to Glasgow Green and the Peoples Palace and I will be explaining all the prominent buildings and landmarks as we go. There are some extraordinary stories behind the facades and I look forward to telling you all about this fine city.

After weeks of violent outbreaks in England, the far right racist contingent tried to bring their poison to Glasgow's George Square last weekend. Glasgow was having none of it and organised an anti racist demonstration which drew a far bigger crowd than the racists could muster. We reflect on the event with our guests Bill Ramsay and Isobel Lindsay and consider whether Scotland's distinctive national culture is enough to protect us from these malignant influences. The conversation ranges from our sense of our own Scottishness, our colonial past, the haunting experience of the clearances, our shared values and the inevitable fracturing of the UK state. We also consider whether the SNP can rise to the challenge of making the changes necessary to survive the 2026 Holyrood Elections.

This episode is devoted almost in its entirety to the far right, Islamophobic, anti-migrant riots taking place across England and in Northern Ireland.Much blame has been laid at the foot of social media but how much responsibility does the press and broadcast media bear for platforming and forwarding far right commentators and views?We also examine the culpability of both the Tories and Labour for allowing the immigration is bad and the root cause of social deprivation narrative to dominate political discourse.Scotland has not seen any of these racist riots but with a "Pro UK" rally planned for George Square in Glasgow on September the 7th what should the response of anti-fascists be? No matter what happens has the majority of the media already written its negative headlines?We also give our thoughts on the Olympics and Lesley has a book recommendation and news of a rally on the 10th anniversary of the independence referendum.https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-bookseller-of-inverness/s-g-maclean/9781529414219https://www.believeinscotland.org/rally_for_independence?utm_campaign=rally_for_independence_if_you&utm_medium=email&utm_source=believeinscotland ★ Support this podcast ★

Militarism is the biggest threat to the climate but capitalist omertà keeps it out of the conversation. It's the imperialism, stupid! The Cold War is alive and well and structuring our thinking around carbon. Being forced to defend China. Housing justice is climate justice, even if it's boring to talk about.

20 year old Anna Kenny was walking to George Square in the centre of Glasgow to get a bus home when she was taken from the street and never seen alive again. Nobody has ever been convicted of her murder. In 2021, along with co-author Chris Clark, I released a book, 'Gone Fishing' about serial killer Angus Sinclair where we suggested that Sinclair was responsible for the murder of Anna Kenny. Can it just be coincidence that Anna's friend who was with her on the night she went missing married Sinclair's brother-in-law Gordon Hamilton? And why did Sinclair and Hamilton argue so badly on the night ahead of the wedding that the two never spoke again - was this about Anna's murder? My book, 'Gone Fishing' hasn't been available for a while but now it is back available to buy on Amazon, on kindle & paperback, and you can hear more about the terrible solved - and unsolved - crimes of Angus Sinclair. Buy 'Gone Fishing' today https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C2SJ3JMM

Today marks 104 years since the Battle of George Square took place in Glasgow. It is 1919. Troops are on the streets of Glasgow to quell a potential Communist uprising. What happened? The Riot Act happened. CREDITS The Voice of the Riot Act is Paul Houlihan The score was written by the human Fialka cipher, Mitch Bain.  This episode wouldn't be possible without the work of Gordon Barclay whose article 'Duties in the Aid of Civil Power' formed the basis of this episode Thanks to Sarah Kelly for her help in producing this episode.

In Not So Black and White: A History of Race from White Supremacy to Identity Politics Kenan Malik questions what he sees as lazy assumptions about race and culture. He retells the forgotten history of a racialised working class which sits uncomfortably with today's obsession with ‘white privilege'. He tells Tom Sutcliffe that we need to confront the issues facing society in terms of class and inequality, and not in terms of identity. The academic Francesca Sobande believes people's racial identity is a key factor in their experiences and how they are treated. Black Oot Here, co-authored with layla-roxanne hill, explores the history and contemporary lives of Black people in Scotland. The prize winning poet Don Paterson grew up on a working-class council housing estate in Dundee in Scotland. He looks back at that time in his memoir, Toy Fights, interweaving the moments of love, joy and musical delight with the dark side of growing up surrounded by poverty.

Esta semana rendimos tributo a los cánticos de las manifestaciones y al soniquete de la revuelta que nos acompaña en las movilizaciones sociales y por eso os traemos este monográfico sobre canciones, lemas y ritmos que ponen sonido al conflicto social. ¡A las batucadas! Cuando la cacerola es el instrumento y la partitura es la pancarta, los cánticos se convierten en canciones. Y permanecen en la memoria rememorando la lucha de la que nacieron. ¿Quién cantó aquello primero? Como decía nuestro amado Chicho Sanchez Ferlosio poco importa la autoría cuando una obra se hace verdaderamente popular. En noviembre de 2010, el rapero Hamada Ben Amor, bajo el seudónimo de El General, publicó el tema «Rais Lebled» (Señor Presidente). En esta canción se recoge el sentimiento pre-revolucionario que se había instalado en buena parte de la población tunecina por aquellos meses y El General se dirige directamente al dictador tunecino Ben Ali instándole a abandonar el poder. La chispa prende. Estamos ante el surgimiento de la denominada primavera árabe. Algunas semanas más tarde la revuelta se extiende también por Egipto y allí, en plena Plaza Tahrir, es la guitarra de Ramy Essam la que convierte los lemas de las manifestaciones en canciones y la gente se levanta cantando "Irhal" (Vete), una invitación nada velada a que Hosni Mubarak abandonase el poder. Poco importó la detención del músico unos días más tarde cuando decenas de miles gritaban "Irhal, irhal, irhal...". Algo parecido, pero con distinto final, ocurrió 40 años antes en Chile. Tras la protesta conservadora de la marcha de las cacerolas la reacción contra el gobierno de Salvador Allende triunfó en 1973. Poco antes de la caída del gobierno Sergio Ortega y Quilapayún componían «El pueblo unido jamás será vencido» a partir de una variación del sexteto de Brahms. Había nacido un himno de las protestas que después escucharíamos traducido al tagalo en las protestas contra el colonialismo en Filipinas. También se tradujo al persa y se entonó en 1979 en Irán durante las protestas contra el Sha y también lo escuchamos en la revolución naranja de Ucrania en 2004, en la plaza Sintagma de Atenas y, volvemos a la primavera árabe, también en la Plaza Tahrir de El Cairo en 2011. Sin irnos tan lejos, por aquí también hemos oído himnos de lucha, ¿quién no ha cantado aquello de «Perros guardianes del orden y la ley, asesinos sueldo abuso del poder» en alguna manifestación? Siempre hemos tenido dudas de si Vómito tomaron estas líneas prestadas de alguna consigna, pero parece que fue al revés. La letra tuvo tanto éxito que ha pasado ya al acervo popular de cualquier manifestación antifa que se precie. Y también sin salir del estado español, resuena en nuestras cabezas «En el Pozo Maria Luisa», interpretada en cada lucha minera, como la tercera Marcha Negra que llegó a Madrid en julio de 2012, y también en recuerdo a los mineros fallecidos y como muestra de apoyo a sus familias en el accidente más grave ocurrido en la minería en las últimas décadas en el estado español, cobrándose la vida de 6 mineros en el pozo Emilio del Valle en Pola de Gordón, León en 2013. Paramos por un momento también en el Café Chinitas, un teatrillo o café cantante que inició su andadura a mediados del siglo XIX, en Málaga entre 1857 y cerrado definitivamente en 1937, por la autoridades municipales malagueñas en plena Guerra Civil. Allí se ponía letra a «Jornaleros Andaluces», canción que también escuchamos en su versión más feminista durante las huelgas del 8M en las plazas de Gijón. Y ya que hablamos de feminismos contamos en este programa también con la colaboración de Diane Fucsia y sus paisajes sonoros de las distintas huelgas generales del 8M estos últimos años en Zaragoza, de antes de la pandemia y durante. De allí nos llega el lema manifestante que más nos ha cautivado en mucho tiempo: «mi copa menstrual en la boca de Abascal». Insuperable. Seguimos viajando y nos encontramos en Glasgow en 1919 en plena batalla de George Square. Durante la huelga general los manifestantes entonan «The Red flag», que a la postre acabaría siendo adaptada como himno del Partido Laborista. En 1962, Leon Rosselson, un cantante y compositor folk, se encargó de poner los puntos sobre las íes con su ocurrencia de parodiar «The Red Flag», a la que rebautizó como «Himno de batalla del nuevo Partido Socialista», ridiculizando la pretensión laborista de seguir pasando por socialistas. En la última etapa de nuestro deambular por la música como vehículo de transmisión de la memoria histórica nos encontramos con el mismísimo Ennio Morricone poniendo sonido 50 años más tarde a la memoria de los anarquistas ejecutados Sacco y Vanzetti. En el horizonte hay negras tormentas agitando los aires así que hoy gritamos con fuerza: ¡¡A las batucadas!! Es hora de poner ritmo al conflicto social. ¡Qué suene!

Welcome to Episode 67 of the Young Hearts, Run Free podcast! Joining John & Steven this week is Gillian McGale. Gillian recently completed the Glasgow to Edinburgh (G2E) Ultra Marathon, a monumental journey that crowned a rise through the running distances that started way back in 2012. Now, we first invited Gillian on to speak mostly about her G2E experience. Turns out though she had much much more to talk to us about other than that! She has quite some story to tell us..... From humble running beginnings running laps of George Square in Glasgow, to finding a running dreamland in Vietnam via a couple of stops at the Highland Fling running has become an absolute staple part of her life. That does not tell the full story though. The episode also discovers some of the reasons that Gillian possesses mental resilience that most of us can only dream of. We touch on a harrowing part of Gillian's life where she lost her 1st husband to suicide, we find out about raising money for and awareness of mental health and how perseverance mixed with a spade load of determination has allowed Gillian to reach the heady heights of competing in some of Scotland's most high profile ultra-marathons. Gillian is one in a million and there are laughs galore as she regales some of her experiences and thoughts on running. An athlete with an attention to detail as strong as Gillian's we've yet to meet. We even have a new shoe reveal for any fellow 'shwankers' out there! So prepare to be inspired because this episode is a belter.

As Scotland reels from the news that Jermain Defoe went for lunch, Adam is fortunate to be joined by two fantastic guests from the media in his attempt to make sense of it all.  Journalist and academic Jennifer M Jones talks about covering League Two matches, the relationship between clubs and the media, Rangers charging reporters for access, Billy Gilmour's Ardrossan lunches, football rivalries, social media dopamine hits and how to stay sane on Twitter.  ITV News Scotland correspondent Peter Adam Smith discusses 'riding into battle' against Charles Green, getting on the wrong side of Jim Traynor, Steven Gerrard's motivation, the reporting and policing of Rangers fans at George Square, bringing David Martindale's inspiring story to a UK-wide audience and exposing the anti-Rangers sandcastle lobby. Adam enlists Trevor Noah and Jerry Seinfeld to put an end to Lionel Messi v Michael Jordan discourse, calls on his guests to help him debunk a myth involving Scottish football media bias, looks at the controversial work of noted epidemiologist Brendan Rodgers and brings up The Joan Burnie Incident again.  For more information about Old Firm Facts, go to: www.thebiglight.com/oldfirmfacts

Paul is joined with the housewives favourite Mikey Dall. The boys talk about a man called Ange. A man called Eddie. Also what is the best way to keep George Square tidy in the month of May. Mikey sums up A League football. Paul tries to believe that one man can turn this all around.

Brian Taylor and Alistair Grant are joined by SNP MP Alison Thewliss, new Labour MSP Paul Sweeney and returning Conservative MSP Miles Briggs in this week's episode of The Brian Taylor Podcast.They take a look at the Cabinet reshuffling in the Scottish Parliament, and pay particular attention to education, where John Swinney was removed as education secretary to take on a new role which focuses on Covid recovery. The group also cast their eyes to the chaotic scenes in Glasgow's George Square at the weekend following Rangers' lifting the Premiership trophy. And an ongoing Covid situation in Glasgow City and Moray means the two areas couldn't follow the rest of Scotland in entering Level 2 lockdown restrictions this week. Discussion turns to what that means and what can be done.________________________________________________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.

We got Tommy in to talk to us about being present and targeted at George Square in Glasgow, by 'Loyalist' Right Wing thugs there under the guise of protecting statues. Tommy talks us through what happened and we had a great conversation about why we find ourselves here in 2020 and some potential solutions.

Just Jimmy and Norrie today, discussing the nonsense in George Square at the weekend, the competence of the individuals present in the Cabinet these days and why can't the mainstream media understand the 2m rule or that the policy on schools during the coronavirus pandemic hasn't been decided yet.

In this episode the @versushistory team spoke to Donny O'Rourke about the events of the Battle of George Square. This violent confrontation between police officers and Glaswegian workers striking in support of a 40-hour working week, took place on January 31st 1919 and the UK government would send 10,000 troops and 6 tanks to Glasgow as a result. The events of the day were the inspiration for Donny O'Rourke's short story 'Bright Red', part of the compilation 'Resist: Stories of Uprising' released by @commapress.

A European Arrest Warrant for Clara Ponsati,on charges of sedition, was issued by Spain just before we recorded today's podcast.We give our initial reactions to the shocking news. Lesley was at the National's Yes rally in George Square last Saturday and she reveals who she thought was the most impressive speaker. The BBC has responded to criticism of its coverage, to be honest we're sceptical, to say the least, to its reply. This leads, neatly I reckon, to the exclusion of the SNP from the televised election debates. Lesley has some interesting thoughts, not just on this, but the whole framing of political debate on our screens. The Scottish Greens have decided to field at least 20 candidates in the General Election. I question why, and consider what impact this might have on marginal,SNP held, constituencies. We compare and contrast this with Sinn Fein's decision not to stand in three Northern Irish seats and electoral pacts in England and Wales. Our last "big bit" is on Lesley's analysis of Boris Johnson's attempts to position himself as a "One Nation Tory" .Will it work in Leave voting traditional Labour areas? Along the way we also look at Jacob Rees Mogg's statements on Grenfell, and the government cover up on Russian interference in UK politics. 

Paul Kavanagh (aka the Wee Ginger Dug) is back from America, and joined by National journalist Stewart Ward for this week's Dugcast. We've got a Winter election coming up – but will there be a winner? North of the Border at least, the picture is a little clearer. South, the Brexit Party are threatening to scupper the Tories. You'll also be able to hear Paul at The National's George Square rally! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In 1919 Glasgow workers called a General Strike, brought transport and commerce to a halt. The police attacked them but were repulsed in George Square and the Government reacted by bringing in the army. The streets being filled by soldiers and tanks, strikers leaders being arrested until the strike was broken.

On this episode, we’re discussing the Virgin Saints. This grouping of early Christian saints pulls together stories of women from different corners of the world and spanning many centuries. They include tales of people rising from the dead, a woman whose eyes are gouged out either by someone else or herself (depending on who you ask), and a woman who came to symbolise French resistance against the English during the Hundred Years’ War. Many of the stories serve as a counterbalance to the focus on men’s stories in religious texts, and, given the nature of sainthood and patronage in the Catholic Church, are called upon daily by people to help them with all aspects of their lives. Stating the case for the Virgin Saints as revolutionaries is Lindy Richardson. Lindy is the Textiles Programme Director and curator of the historic Needlework Development Scheme embroidery collection at Edinburgh College of Art. Her curation work has included the gathering of oral histories across the UK to compliment the sample and archival collection. She is currently working on an exhibition of the collection which will take place in the Main Library in George Square from November 2019 - February 2020.

What do you do when you get one of the most powerful women in Scottish local government in front of a microphone? Well you ask her all about the job, what she wants to achieve, and a few of your own hobby-horses too. Like buskers with amplifiers, who are too noisy for Derek Bateman's liking. Our podcast host raised all this and more with Susan Aitken, the ebullient leader of Glasgow City Council, who swept to power for the SNP last May. Susan, seen as one of the most creative leaders in local government, has a big job on her plate, with her party having displaced Labour for the first time in 40 years.

For the 129th episode of The Scottish Independence Podcast, I went along to the March For Indy in Glasgow on Saturday 30th July.Somewhere north of 5000 people walked from the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow to George Square, where there were stalls, speeches and an appearance from Bikers for Indy. A fair few of them went to the pub afterwards too.As I was walking along, I took the opportunity to ask the people marching why they had decided to come along for the day, and this podcast contains those answers.As well as the many people that I didn't have time to swap details with, the podcast includes contributions from Veterans for Indy, Yes Midlothian, Simone Charlesworth, Robert Sommyne, Paul Kavanagh, CND Scotland, English Scots for Yes and Angela Haggerty.These podcasts are independently minded and independently funded, you can help to keep them going by making a donation.

Professor Sharon Abrahams, Personal Chair in Neuropsychology, delivers her inaugural lecture entitled Mind Matters in Motor Neurone Disease. In this lecture, Prof. Abrahams discusses her work with people living with a degenerative disease and in particular motor neurone disease. This disease was commonly thought to affect the system controlling movement exclusively, but Prof. Abrahams' work has contributed to demonstrating that the mind matters in motor neurone disease and that a large number of people will experience changes in cognition and behaviour in addition to progressive physical disability. Recorded on 28 October 2015 at the University of Edinburgh's 50 George Square.

This episode of HomeBhoys is inspirational. Jason and Joe take the controls and are joined by Sinead Graham (Hoopy80 on Celticminded) and she does us the great honour of sharing the story of her battle with, and triumph over cancer. We of course talk about the Hibs game, the FAC demo in George Square and Joe's experience shadowing the Green Brigade for a day. But in truth this show belongs to Sinead. Quite a remarkable woman, quite an incredible Tim with amazing spirit. Hail Hail!!
