For the 120th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast I invited Jack Foster, one of the filmmakers behind the documentary Scotland Yet, and in more recent times one of the organisers of NewsShaft to come on and talk about the beginning and unfortunate demise of the NewsShaft project.

We also discussed some of the things that go into producing alternative media that sometimes go unseen. Another topic we got into is the current state of both mainstream and alternative media in Scotland.

Should the various alternative media sources in Scotland help each other more, or is it just a nice sounding idea that can't really go anywhere? And what to make of some of the more hysterical stories that are showing up at the moment? There is all that and more...

Hope you enjoy…
