The Scot Goes Popcast is very much like the proverbial London buses – you wait nine weeks for one to come along, and then two turn up at once. Joining me today for the second half of this week’s double-header is the Twitter legend, benevolent dictator of Yes Perth City, and all-round good egg, William Duguid. The last time William and I met in real life was way back in the summer of 2015 at the launch party for CommonSpace, which by a strange quirk of fate has just shut down (in its later guise as Source News). So I thought it would be a good idea to start by asking William for his thoughts on the current state of the pro-independence New Media. We both agreed that the audio and video side of things is going from strength to strength, but that perhaps more conventional blogging isn’t having its finest spell.

I also asked him about the SNP-Green coalition/non-coalition, the reports that the UK government are apparently toying with the idea of annexing the area around Helensburgh after independence, and the new ‘Demographics of Independence’ report from Common Weal.
Incidentally, I had a complete brain freeze towards the end of the recording when for a moment I couldn’t remember how many list seats the SNP won at the May election. Just disregard what I said – they of course only won two (Emma Harper in the south and Emma Roddick in the Highlands and Islands).
