The Lesley Riddoch Podcast

The Lesley Riddoch podcast started way back in 2008 - the brainchild of her tech savvy husband Chris Smith, who was also her podcast partner till 2015 when her old pal and media lecturer Pat Joyce took over. So it must have been one of the earliest podcasts about the Scottish political and cultural scene. In 2020 Pat and Lesley started recording via Skype, because each of their households had folk who were shielding during the Covid lockdown - and remote recording works so well we are still Skyping away.

Since that first LR podcast in 2008, Lesley has broadcast more than 600 weekly podcasts and had over a million downloads. So go seek out the back catalogue and subscribe to get each new episode. And in case you are wondering, no Pat and Lesley don’t discuss subjects before they start recording each week. We don’t want to get TOO organised!
