This week we reveal the meticulous technical preparation that goes on before each podcast. Lesley returns from Belfast and reflects on the impact of Brexit on Ireland both North and South and I chip in on the Supreme court hearing. In the light of the PISA results we discuss the state of Scottish education and what relevance , if any, these results  should have in shaping its future. On the way we meander through the highways and byways of motoring in the Arctic, the hunter gatherer diet, reindeer and just who is Captain James T Kirk's evil alter ego.
