Welcome to Season 2 of the In the Hot Seat podcast!

Delighted to have In the Hot Seat for the first week of the new season - a man I have a great deal of respect for - former BBC Security Correspondent turned political commentator and author - Brian / Barney Rowan.

In the episode we chat through a whole host of areas across Northern Irish politics and the future of Stormont beyond the global pandemic, but most importantly we discuss Barney's newest book "Political Purgatory: The Battle to Save Stormont and the Play for a New Ireland".

Join us as we chat through and hear from Barney on his quite brilliant stories from time spent with individuals you might not have expected - ranging from David Ervine (former leader of the PUP) to Rory McIlroy.
