This is the start of an ongoing mini-series on the topic of masculinity in the modern world, and who better to launch it than the man at the highest position of political influence in our country.


This is part 1 of 2, and focuses on John Swinney the man, his formative years and how his family shaped him, and what inspired him to get involved in politics.


This whole topic is about being human, and how easy it is to be influenced by what we see and hear in popular culture, and John is no different in that respect.


You’ll hear the First Minister tell the story of his uncle, a world war 2 hero killed tragically close to the end of the war…


He explains how defeat in the 1992 General Election served as the catalyst for what would go on to become a lifelong commitment to his vocation…


And we talk about the importance of civility and respect in politics, and how the public are influenced by what they hear in parliament…
