Was it a dog's life in 17th century Scotland? Susan Morrison talks to historian of animal-human relationships, Laura Moffat of the University of Strathclyde about her pet subject. Find out what you were supposed to do if you were bitten by a mad dog back in the day (clue - it involves the worst smoothie in the world), and why James VI shouldn't have let his wife Anne of Denmark out with his dogs. If dogs had it bad in the 17th century, people had it worse in the 1540s, during the harrowing wars of the ‘Rough Wooing'. Dr Amy Blakeway is back to tell us about women in the ‘Rough Wooing' and sisters doing it for themselves - those nunneries needed defending. Looking at the more sinister side of Red Clydeside, Tomiwa Folorunso, who's a regular contributor to BBC Scotland's The Social talks to Dr Jacqueline Jenkinson of Stirling University about the Glasgow Port Riots of 1919 when their white compatriots turned on Black British sailors who had suffered alongside them during the war.

Fascinating discussion with author Dave Sherry about more of our recent history that many of us are largely unaware of - such as the Uk government's response to the general strike in Glasgow in the 1920s, the power of Red Clydeside and much more.  Excellent discussion   this is the podcast edit of the livestream

For the latest podcast Ali spoke to the writer and producer Henry Bell about his biography of John Maclean. If you haven't heard of Maclean then this is a perfect place to start, and if you do then I'm sure you'll learn something new about the man dubbed both "Hero of Red Clydeside" and "the most dangerous man in Britain" depending on which newspaper you read. Henry explains how Maclean came to achieve such fame, the sacrifices he made, and how he managed to hold both nationalist and internationalist outlooks, views which are still prevalent in Scottish politics today. It's a fascinating discussion about one of Scotland's most important historical figures which you won't want to miss.

Beyond the Noise with David Jamieson is a weekly podcast with CommonSpace journalist David Jamieson, where he gets behind the 24/7 news cycle and gets to heart of issues, trying to find the substance behind the headlines. THIS week, Jamieson is joined by Lesley Orr, feminist historian and activists and member of the Common Weal board, to discuss the central importance of women's activism to the Red Clydeside era of political radicalisation in Scotland a hundred years ago. They discuss: - 1:22 What was the intellectual and social movement context to the rise of women's activism in Red Clydeside? - 9:42 How did the rent strikes emerge from the period of 'social peace' which accompanied the beginning of WW1? - 19:55 Following victory in 1915, how did the leaders and activists of the rent strike feed into the deepening ideological radicalisation on the Clyde? - 32: 00 What can we learn from the Red Clydeside women today?

In today's episode we are taken to school by Simon Munnery as we discuss his favourite album, the little known Scottish folk protests songs of "Red Clydeside" by Alistair Hulett & Dave Swarbrick.

Episode Three "Improvisation and Inspiration" In this third episode we are joined by Paul Larkin to cover the period 1920 to 1930 in a decade where Celtic are up against the rising force of Rangers. Still, a haul of 13 trophies in ten years wasn’t a bad return for a team blessed with the talents of McGrory, Gallagher, Cassidy, Cringan, McNally and McLean. The war is now over and recession is kicking in as Celtic play in an era building up to the General Strike of 1926. The poor of Glasgow’s East End turn to the emerging Labour Party and the rise of Red Clydeside as the streets are carved up by vicious gangs with violence and social unrest a common occurrence.
