What does it look like to prioritize friendship in an organizational context? Laity Lodge is an ecumenical retreat center in the Texas hill country that welcomes wayfarers into unique journeys of encounter and revelation — with God, with one another, with themselves, with expanding, new paradigms. In this episode, Lodge director Steven Purcell and the president of the HE Butt Foundation that oversees it, David Rogers, explore the conditions for the kind of hospitality that awakens, tends, and transforms.

The popular Newsnet podcast is back! Apologies, but a spam attack led to unforeseen problems, which resulted in a "lost week" for the podcast. Now we're back, with journalist Maurice Smith in the chair. His guest is Steven Purcell, for Labour politician turned business consultant, but still a keen observer of the political scene in Scotland. They discussed the latest turn of events concerning Brexit, with Theresa May once more prostrating herself  in Brussels while her spin doctors pretend she's in a powerful negotiating position. Then there's Scottish Labour, which is witnessing a struggle between Anas Sarwar and Richard Leonard for the right to lead the party back into second place.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s Steven Purcell! Here at Newsnet Studios we have been waiting Steven’s arrival for some time since the June general election. And although it took a while, we think it’s been worth it. Why Steven? Well the former leading Labour figureBrexit was the first to say on this medium that Jeremy Corbyn would astound the critics, and also that the SNP would lose seats in the north east of Scotland. Podcast host Derek Bateman invited Scottish politics’ very own clairvoyant to come and share his analysis of the scene, and discuss what next for Scotland. Derek and Steven are joined by journalist and producer Maurice Smith. Is British politics re-aligning? How many Yes voters from 2014 are swayed by the Corbyn message? Can Nicola Sturgeon’s SNP win back seats lost to the Tories? Might the fall-out from Brexit still have a few twists and turns that might help or hinder the independence cause? How on earth are the Tories still in power?

Nicola Sturgeon in the USA, Donald T***p in Florida, MSPs at Holyrood. This week has been a routine one in politics, which led us to discuss the First Minister's trip to the US, and the Scottish Parliament's record in scrutinising the executive. Joining podcast host Maurice Smith this week was regular contributor Steven Purcell -- an independence supporter who's been out canvassing for Labour in Glasgow -- and experienced researcher and campaigner Robert McGeachy. Robert has co-written with former MSP Mark Ballard a new book which advises groups on how to manage campaigns and lobby the Scottish Parliament and government. It's aimed at public and private bodies as well as the third sector, and is aimed at being a "do it yourself" guide for organisations who can't afford those slick lobbyists who are supposed to be getting put on a register by parliament sometime soon...

Exciting, isn't it? Only a few days now before the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States, and de facto "leader of the free world", Donald Trump. It has a great ring to it, no? A second generation Scot who made it good, only decades after he emerged in New York to sup on a big, beautiful silver spoon held around his tiny hands by his proud Lewis mommy. It's enough to warm the blood of even the coldest-hearted Jock...surely? How we'll marvel at this son of Scots soil as he proudly takes the oath of office, watched by a captive audience worldwide, attended by his able manservant Nigel McFarage, head of the Clan McFarage.... OK, OK, you've brought up your porridge and choked on an oatcake. Podcast host Derek Bateman welcomed ex-politician and keen observer of politics Steven Purcell and journalist and lecturer Peter Geoghegan to chew the fat this week, covering the Trump election. Plus fake news, and of course the Russians, the British, the media, the Labour leadership, the plight of lazy liberals, the Mondeo drivers, the Blairites, the Irish, the Northern Irish, the Brexiters....in fact (almost) the lot.

What a weird world we are living in right now. A world where Japanese car manufacturers suddenly reverse all their concerns about Brexit and commit to spending millions in Leave-voting Sunderland, but without any UK Government promises of subsidies… Yeh, right. But the intoxicating fumes of Japanese lobbying and Tory plotting may be having an influence on otherwise-sane people everywhere. Perhaps even in Scotland some are thinking the unthinkable. Might Brexit work out just fine for everyone? Will the SNP ever hold a second independence referendum? Could Ruth Davidson – Scotland’s Politician of the Year as of Thursday night – actually be a future, gasp, First Minister? Podcast host Derek Bateman tapped out the hallucinogenic contents of his genuine fake 1960s peace pipe and invited former Scottish Labour leading light Steven Purcell and journalist and producer Maurice Smith to examine the ashes. Our long-suffering producer Amanda recorded those bits that were fit to publish…

Hoodwinked by a perfidious Leave campaign, or disillusioned by globalisation, it is important that political parties and activists understand what motivated Brexit voters, rather than demonising them as ignorant people or even racists. That thought arose quickly when Newsnet podcast host Derek Bateman got together with guest contributors Steven Purcell and Zara Kitson. As Derek remarks: “Politics? Bloody hell…” They have been doing a lot of thinking too about the Scottish dimension on Britain’s constitutional crisis and what the opposition parties should be saying and doing. In another thoughtful podcast – recorded just as the Chilcot inquiry was being published – Steven, Zara and Derek share opinions about Scotland’s options and what may (or may not) happen next. It is another fascinating listen in our regular series. Click on the file above or download via your usual sources (search for Newsnet.scot podcast).

So everybody lost and everybody won, as is usually claimed in the aftermath of every poll. Our team of experts gathered at the Newsnet Radio studio after very little sleep to share their views of winners, losers, uppers and downers with host Derek Bateman. The big loser, of course was Labour. Under leader Kezia Dugdale, the party slumped to third place in the polls. The SNP won an unprecedented third term, but leader Nicola Sturgeon was narrowly denied an overall majority, which means her administration will have to do deals with other parties to get key decisions approved at Holyrood over the coming five years. The Greens progressed, although not as far as they had hoped, as all those SNP second votes piled up, not only to their benefit but also that of the Tories, who shocked most observers by reaching a clear second place. What does it all mean for the governance of Scotland, for each party and even for the UK? Scottish politics continues to deliver surprises and it really does seem to soon to say what any of this means for the cause of Scottish independence. Thanks to everyone who contributed to supporting our election campaign coverage, and especially the podcasts. We are delighted to confirm that we will be able to carry on the programme beyond the Scottish election campaign, and on to the European referendum on June 23.

Steven Purcell has is a Celtic fan with a unique insight into the dramtic events in Glasgow and Scotland over these past 12 months.  Steven got into politics during the turbulent times of the 1980's and became a Glasgow City councillor at 22 and leader of the City just 10 years later at 32.  Close to Donald Dewar, steven was tipped to become the leader of Labour in Scotland before his high profile resignation and departure from public life.  Before leaving the City council, Steven was the man who led the team which brought the Commonwealth Games here in 2014 and remains close to the movers and shakers of Scottish politics.   Steven talks of his love of Celtic and the Labour Party and the challenges facing the second of those two - he identifies the 5 challenges he sees facing the Labour Party UK wide and how the simple use of the single name "Nicola" could spell real problems for Labour in Scotland.   In a wide ranging conversation which covers Sectarianism, Gasgow's uncomfortable relationship with football and the OBFA, the boys round up by discussing the joy of watching Celtic under Ronny Deila.   Enjoy
