We’re starting to think that the Scots did everything first. At least, that’s how it feels when the ever-fascinating actor/writer Brian McCardie joins to teach us a little bit about New Lanark, a ‘Company Town’ and proto-socialist utopia that was a century ahead of its time. The town may be in the “middle of nowhere” but it was also at the center of early labor reform and innovation.

More on Brian:

Brian McCardie is a Scottish actor and writer best known for...well...a lot of different things, his CV is a mile long. Listeners might recognize him recently from Jimmy McGovern's 3-part drama, Time, where he acted opposite Stephen Graham and Sean Bean. Or, less recently, from Line of Duty, Speed 2, Rob Roy and a whole host of others.
