  • Tourist tax: the answer to overtourism?
    Jan 23 2025

    With Edinburgh on the verge of approving the country’s first tourist tax, the team ask: can Scotland cope with tourism at its current levels? We ask Dr Guillem Colom-Montero, an expert in overtourism, and Jo de Sylva, who runs a hospitality business in Inverness. And Martin and Natalie talk to BBC weather presenter and meteorologist Calum MacColl for his take on Storm Éowyn and the red-weather warnings in place for parts of Scotland.

  • Mary v. the porn industry
    Jan 22 2025

    Children aren’t supposed to be able access pornography, but they do in significant numbers and at a very young age.

    We ask Mary Sharpe, a Scottish lawyer taking on the porn industry and campaigning for better regulation, if adult content is harming our kids and how we can stop them from accessing it.

    And Martin and Laura Maciver discuss your reaction to our episode about maternity unit failings.
