Yes Cowal Scottish Independence Podcast

In this special episode IndyPodcasters Fiona and Marlene take a break from the usual guest format for a more personal chat. After attending the Glasgow book launch of Frankly, Nicola Sturgeon’s much-anticipated memoir, the pair share their candid reflections on the event — and the unexpected TikTok reaction that followed. From going viral overnight to unpacking the diverse responses the book has sparked — across mainstream UK media, podcasts, and Scottish independence commentators — Fiona and Marlene explore what the media response to the book tells us about Scotland’s political landscape, media narratives, and public sentiment. Join them for an honest, insightful, and at times surprising look at the ripple effects of one book — and one TikTok. No guests this week — just real talk from two women navigating politics, culture, and independence in Scotland.
