First up we have a quick catch up about the week gone and little Rishi's big deal.  Then I speak to Scottish rapper, activist and writer Darren McGarvey. Darren comes at things from a very different angle to me on a political level, but communicates with such clarity I defy anyone not to take away something from this.  His analogy about the SNP using nationalism like a 'performance enhancing drug'...
