In this episode, indypodcasters Fiona and Marlene share our honest reactions to John Swinney’s speech A Moment of Challenge. We chat through the bits that genuinely landed for us, the moments that made us pause, and a couple of lowlights that didn’t quite hit the mark.
One thing that really stood out to us was the clear difference between the tone and framing of questions from the audience and the BBC's effort.
