Cassilis is carrying a short audio blog roundup by fellow Scots blogger PollyOdd. It is only 10 minutes long, and well worth a listen, not only because he manages to read my words better than I actually wrote them. As Cassilis gives a short plug for future PollyOdd broadcasts, I'm hoping it will become a regular feature of what is already a 'must read' site.
Andy Howell at Political Futures had the idea of a weekly political audio blog round up some months ago, which I was to jointly produce with him, but disorganised socialists that we are, we never quite got round to doing it. Actually, Andy has a much more broadcastable style than me, and he has the technology, so I think he should just have got on with it. Iain Dale used to do something similar a year or so ago, but it was just too long to maintain interest. A short snappy 10 minutes, PollyOdd-style seems just about right.

Thanks for the plug Bob.
PollyOdd's politics are much closer to yours than mine so this is ammo for those who dismiss me as a 'wet' but such is life!
