The Lesley Riddoch Podcast

The Lesley Riddoch podcast started way back in 2008 - the brainchild of tech-savvy Chris Smith, who was 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 worked out so well, they are still Skyping away.

Since that first LR podcast in 2008, Lesley has broadcast more than 800 weekly podcasts with well over a million downloads. The back catalogue is all available at LesleyRiddoch.com and you can financially support the podcast there and receive extra content.
