Lesley has strong words about the Kiwis' ban on bag pipes and is vexed about how we look to the rest of the world with kids cage fighting. Oh, and there's the euro crisis. All good fun at the Lesley Riddoch Podcast.

In a packed podcast, Lesley backs up her arguments about the opposition, reveals bill paying problems and finds out English is not universal. We meander all over the place but you know that anyway! Enjoy.

It was hard not to talk about the Vickers' Report on Banking. Equally the moves of the Scottish Labour Party seem slightly strange. However, Lesley has a thought or two to share.

Being overweight and getting divorced are terrrible life experiences. Lesley wrote about the latest Lancet warning about obesity and contrasts with what she finds in Oslo. Equally, the Scottish Conservatives seem to be going through a sticky patch. All gist to the mill for this week's Lesley Riddoch Podcast.
