Building the Scottish State Show: Series 1 – Episode 31 – Gareth Wardell (Grouse Beater)

On this week’s show, Dr Mark McNaught is joined by Gareth Wardell (Grouse Beater)

Mr Wardell, who …is well known for his writings under the Grouse Beater blog site describes his own background:

“I am from what used to be called a ‘broken home’. I ran away a lot. Now I am described as a polymath and a ‘self-made man’. There’s a cliché for everybody and everything. My background is Edinburgh-born and educated, Catholic and Jewish. I am half-Sicilian, half-Irish. My vocation began as a student of theatre, (and studied philosophy), teacher in Glasgow and then lecturer in drama, (Distinction) in Edinburgh, broadcaster for BBC and commercial radio, to founder-artistic director of a national theatre still flourishing. I was a few years an unhappy BBC television executive producer, London, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Recently I devoted myself to work as a producer-writer-doctor of filmed drama, and lately an obsessive essayist and polemicist. For relaxation I design gardens and help plant them, currently a Roman garden on Roman archaeological ground.”

“Extensive experience in the arts in Scotland, England, and abroad, particularly the USA, has given me a perspective of Scotland’s political and social deficiencies. And they are legion. Scotland is too long a colonised country. My vocation spans theatre production, radio, television, film and journalism. At one time I wrote for US car magazines. I wrote the Louis Vuitton Guide to Los Angeles (not the restaurant section) while still in Edinburgh and to a month’s deadline! Most recent books are published by the Royal Academy of Arts in London, in addition to ESSAYS and ESSAYS 2, collections of essays published in various Internet sites, magazines and newspapers, (available from me direct or Amazon) a third book on adventures in LaLa Land now a work in progress.”

ELECTION SPECIAL!!

On the night of the Scottish Local Elections 2022, Dr Mark McNaught is joined by Kenny …MacAskill MP.

Kenny is the current Depute Leader of the Alba Party, following a vote from the party members at the recent inaugural party conference at Greenock Town Hall. Kenny is the MP for East Lothian, from which he was elected in the 2019 UK General Election for the SNP party, prior to leaving the party to join the Alba party in March 2021.

Prior to his current position, Kenny was elected as an MSP in 1999 upon the re-opening of the Scottish Parliament, from which remained until 2016. During this tenure, Kenny, would become the Depute Leader of the SNP, as well as serving as Shadow Minister for Enterprise and Lifelong Learning, Shadow Minister for Transport and Telecommunications, and Shadow Minister for Justice, before taking up the position of Cabinet Secretary for Justice following the 2007 Scottish Elections. It was in this role, from which he oversaw the controversial transfer of convicted terrorist Abdelbaset al-Megrahi to his native Libya.

Mr MacAskill was born in Edinburgh and was educated at Linlithgow Academy before studying law at the University of Edinburgh, gaining an LLB (Hons) degree. After completing his training at a firm in Glasgow, he set up Erskine MacAskill.
