| 3/13/26 | Coincidence? Rise of the Billionaires...breakdown of international law | Former UK ambassador Craig Murray joins Glasgow Pensioners for Independence for a hard-hitting discussion on the growing breakdown of the international legal order. From selective enforcement of global rules to the erosion of institutions meant to uphold them, the conversation explores how power politics is reshaping the world stage. What does this changing landscape mean for nations seeking self-determination? Could a weakening international system make recognition of new states easier — or harder? And where might Scotland fit into an increasingly unstable global order? Drawing on decades of diplomatic experience, Craig Murray offers candid insights into international law, geopolitics, and the real-world challenges facing independence movements today. Key topics: 00:01:25 The rise of the billionaires 00:04:44 Venezuela vs Kelloggs 00:09:46 The demise of international law 00:22:37 Why the UK is a rogue state 00:26:44 how would an indy Scotland behave? 00:29:43 Declaring Scottish independence 00:38:50 Preparing for independence 00:42:03 UN support for UDI? 00:43:03 Progress towards decolonisation 00:51:30 Overcoming foreign influence in our politics 00:54:07 Hopes for the future #scottishindependence #craigmurray #pensioners4indy The Indypodcasters team produce a NEW podcast episode every Friday search for Scottish Independence Podcasts wherever you get your podcasts.

| 2/20/26 | Economics For All with William Thomson | What does it really mean to be a heterodox economist? And how does Modern Monetary Theory fit into today’s political narratives? In this episode, Indypodcasters Fiona and Marlene catch up with political economist William Thomson to unpack the big ideas shaping Scotland’s economic debate. William explains what “heterodox economics” actually means, challenges mainstream thinking, and explores how Modern Monetary Theory connects to the political choices facing Scotland right now. We also hear about his ambitious new event, Scotland's Economics Festival, taking place 19–21 March in Leith, Edinburgh — designed to bring big economic ideas out of academia and into the hands of the public. 🎟 Get your tickets at: https://www.scoteconfest.org/ Big ideas.
