Rob Gibson was born in Glasgow and brought up in Dennistoun, and until very recently lived in Evanton, Easter Ross.

His early interest in Scottish history encompassed both Highland hillwalking and land reform. In 1972 he graduated from Dundee University with a degree in Modern History and, until 1995, pursued a teaching career in Easter Ross.

Through his love of traditional music he has convened the Dingwall- based Highland Traditional Music Festival for twenty years and he has sung in several groups. With the band Ceilidh Ménage, he has performed at festivals in Scotland and Brittany. He wrote the show 'Plaids and Bandanas' for performance at the Highland Festival of 1998.

Rob’s interest in land issues has led to an active political life including working for eight years from 1988 as an SNP District Councillor in Ross and Cromarty. In 2003 he was elected as an SNP MSP, first as a regional member for Highlands and Islands, then in 2011 as constituency member for Caithness, Sutherland and Ross. He convened the Rural Affairs Climate Change and Environment Committee from 2011 to 2016 when he retired from Parliament.

He has contributed to various journals over the years and has published several books including 'The Promised Land: Crofter Power in Easter Ross', 'Toppling the Duke: Outrage on Ben Bhraggie?', 'Highland Cowboys' and 'Reclaiming Our Land'.

About the book:

In 'Cricket Changed My Life' Annie Chave throws the spotlight on a diverse medley of people, whose very variety highlights the fact that cricket can benefit anyone, that the game’s reach is not confined to players or even to fields of play.

From a Pakistani teenager left for dead by terrorists to England’s first black international cricketer, from journalists and broadcasters who have battled adversity to forge careers in cricket to a pair of Syrian refugees, and from one of England’s greatest all-rounders to the inimitable David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd, Chave writes about the lives of a dozen very different people for whom the game of cricket has been transformative.

Through wide-ranging and illuminating interviews, the author delves deep into the (often-unpredicted) life-enhancing properties of cricket, revealing, in some cases, its power to reclaim lives lived on the brink of despair.

Taking the broadest view of politics, the show aims to talk to some of the most interesting people about how they got to where they are, their successes and failures. 

If they want to talk about their personal politics, they’re absolutely welcome to but, in general, we’re much broader and more interested in what politics and policy can do to help them and others.

We aim to share ideas with people might find interesting. 

Peter Newman, your podcast host, has been a teacher, a journalist and a political candidate over the last 20 or so years. 

Now an SNP member, there is pretty naturally going to be a Scottish focus to the show but the world is a big place and this is about big ideas with the best people.
