ABOUT THIS EPISODE
"Building Scotland's Future Now: A Cross-Generational Conversation with Young Scots for Independence"
Join Fiona and Marlene as they sit down with Tommy Kelly and Sarah McCahill, the convenor and vice convenor of Young Scots for Independence, for an inspiring intergenerational dialogue that bridges five decades. Despite a 50-year age gap, this dynamic conversation reveals surprising common ground and shared vision for Scotland's future.
Tommy and Sarah bring sharp, forward-thinking perspectives on the kind of Scotland they want to build—and the exciting news is that we don't have to wait for independence to start making it happen. From grassroots initiatives to societal changes we can work towards right now. Whether you're curious about youth activism, interested in Scotland's independence movement, or simply want to hear an energizing conversation about generational solidarity and shared purpose, this episode proves that age is no barrier to finding common cause. Discover what's uniting Scots across age groups and what's already within reach.
