UofG Spotlight podcast launches
The University has launched a new podcast looking at public policy and the political process in Scotland.
Hosted by Kezia Dugdale, Director of the John Smith Centre, and Professor Graeme Roy, Dean of External Engagement in the College of Social Sciences, Spotlight will offer impartial insights on the big policy debates during the run-up to May’s election.
The podcast draws upon expertise from the University and beyond and each week, Kezia and Graeme will be joined by Katrine Bussey, Political Editor of the Press Association, who will provide an overview of what to expect in the week ahead.
The first episode discusses whether there is a credibility gap in the costing of party manifestos before looking at the options for housing policy that are likely to feature in the campaign.
