#42: Pat Kane

In Episode 42 of Apolitical we welcome musician and writer Pat Kane to the show. A long-term supporter of Scottish independence, Pat – best known to many as half of the successful duo Hue & Cry – has been a prominent voice in the constitutional debate before, during and since the referendum campaign. Amongst the topics we discuss with Pat on the podcast are: • The politics he was exposed to as a child; • His relationship with party politics; • Winning the role of Rector of the University of Glasgow; • The themes from his Rectorial Installation Address; • Whether he sees his music as political in nature; • How his Play Ethic theory relates to modern political expression; • Serving on the advisory board to Yes Scotland; • Whether the ‘Yes’ movement has crystallised in the SNP for a significant proportion of its participants; • The sustainability of crowdfunded new media once the current intense period of referenda and elections passes; and • How optimistic he is about Scotland’s prospects for independence. Please join us in discussing these issues or any other raised in the podcast below, or find us on Twitter at @apoliticalpod . You can
