Sturgeon’s book stirs up Rowling row
Update: 2025-08-12
Description
Nicola Sturgeon says a social media post by Harry Potter author JK Rowling prompted a wave of 'vile' abuse over the former first minister’s views on transgender policy.
It’s one of many more claims in Ms Sturgeon’s memoir, Frankly, which Natalie has read (most of at the time of recording this recording).
And as Spiderman webs his way through the streets of Glasgow, Slow Horses director Saul Metzstein tells us why his hometown is now like a second home to Hollywood.
Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
