In this powerful and deeply personal episode, comedian and campaigner Susie McCabe joins The Herald’s education writer James McEnaney to reflect on a decade of the Time for Inclusive Education (TIE) campaign — and why the fight is far from over.

Susie opens up about growing up under Section 28, coming out as a teenager in the 1990s, and the isolation and fear that shaped her early years. She shares how the culture of silence in schools, fuelled by government policy and societal stigma, robbed her generation of the support they needed — and how things have changed, and why they still need to change.

In a powerful and deeply personal conversation, former SNP MP Hannah Bardell joins Unspun Live to reflect on life after politics.

Speaking to The Herald's Political Editor, Andrew Learmonth, Hannah talks candidly about losing her seat, the emotional toll of frontline politics, starting a new business, and navigating IVF while building a future with her wife.

She shares behind-the-scenes insight into the 2024 campaign, the bittersweet experience of walking away from Westminster, and why stepping back doesn't mean stepping away forever.

Leading political comedian Matt Forde joins The Herald's political correspondent Hannah Brown to discuss the Edinburgh Fringe, Scottish political figures Joanna Cherry, John Swinney, Anas Sarwar, Ian Murray and much more more (including the occasional impersonation). Matt also speaks about how he wants to try 'Defying Calamity' in politics during his appearance at the world-renowned festival in Scotland next month.
