Go Radio Politics Show: October 11th, 2026.

This is the catch-up edition of Bernard Ponsonby's weekly live Sunday politics show on Go Radio.

In this special edition of the Go Radio Politics Show, the politicians step aside and Scotland's young people take centre stage. Drawing on findings from Young Scot's Truth About Youth survey, host Bernard Ponsonby is joined by a panel of young Scots to discuss the issues they believe will define their future.

From political engagement and misinformation to racism, bullying, poverty and social change, this is a frank, thoughtful and often inspiring conversation about the Scotland young people want to build. Throughout the discussion, the panel share personal experiences, challenge assumptions and offer a hopeful vision for the years ahead.
