Building the Scottish State Show - with special guest Lesley Riddoch (S1.EP9)

Building the Scottish State Show: Series 1 - Episode 9 - Lesley Riddoch

On this week's show, Dr Mark McNaught is joined by Lesley Riddoch.


Lesley is one of Scotland’s best-known commentators and broadcasters. Lesley was born in Wolverhampton to a mother from Wick and a dad from Banffshire, grew up in Belfast, moved to Glasgow at the age of 13, went to Oxford University (where she was the first non-Tory President of the Student's Union) and did a post-graduate course at Cardiff University. She still gets around a lot. She is best known for broadcasting with programmes on BBC2, Channel 4, Radio 4 and BBC Radio Scotland, for which she won two Sony speech broadcaster awards. She produces the weekly Lesley Riddoch Podcast with co-presenter Patrick Joyce.

Lesley is a weekly columnist for The Scotsman and The National and a regular contributor to the Guardian, Scotland Tonight, BBC Question Time and Any Questions.

In early 2010, Riddoch co-founded the think tank, Nordic Horizons with Scottish Government funding – which has brought Nordic experts and specialists to Scotland to share social policy insights and experiences. And in 2017 saw the publication of McSmorgasbord: What post-Brexit Scotland can learn from the Nordics written in partnership with Eberhard Bort. This book uses the examples of the Nordic nations to tease out the various possible relationships between an independent Scotland and the European Economic Area.
