Listen now | On today’s show, I’m joined by the Rt. Hon. Alistair Carmichael — a member of the House of Commons since 2001, representing the Orkney and Shetland Islands.Mr. Carmichael was kind enough to join me from his office in London this week to talk for over an hour. In this episode, we discuss a host of topics including: what is was like to grow up on Islay; what guides his decision-making process as a Member of Parliament; what lessons he learned while working in the hotel and restaurant industry; why a person should aspire to be in politics today; and some really important topics, too, like getting Mr. Carmichael’s Scotch whiskey recommendations!
Thank you for bringing a bit of the isle life to us! I have always been drawn to those islands and want to learn more about their history and culture. Sadly, I’m not as fond of the peat. Simple single malt for me!
Thanks for tuning in, Blair! I’d love to learn more about Orkney and Shetland, too. I’ve always loved Scottish history and culture and Nordic history and culture -- so Orkney and Shetland is it! I may have to find a historian who can tell us more about the north islands soon!
