FM Nicola Sturgeon announced the Scottish Government strategy on securing a second independence referendum earlier this week so it's no surprise that we focus almost the entirety of the rest of the podcast in examining it.
Working on the not unreasonable assumption that no Section 30 order will be granted by Boris Johnson we look at the role of the Supreme Court, and the shape of a subsequent General Election fought in Scotland as a proxy indyref2.
We ask if it will be an SNP only campaign and whose voices within the party will be heard, what impact will UK General Election rules on voter eligibility have, and how can it be run and won.
