Welcome to ‘Politically Speaking', Scotland's flagship political podcast brought to you from the editorial team of the award winning Holyrood magazine. Whether you are more interested in what politicians do to relax than what they actually do in the parliament, this is the podcast where you will get the full skinny on politics, policy and pure nonsense. Join Mandy Rhodes, editor of Holyrood Magazine, along with Liam Kirkaldy, Holyrood's award winning sketch writer, and the odd politician, as they chew the political fat and spit out it out onto the pages of the forthcoming issue of Holyrood magazine.
