    Why Ardrossan Harbour Matters 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ‘Busiest’ Ferry ⛴️ Route

    My guest on this weeks episode is Matt McGowan from the Save Ardrossan Harbour campaign group. He gives us a bit of background on why the community group had to be setup. We then move on to discuss why this campaign is non political and delve into the importance of getting the harbour upgraded for the new CalMac ferries. There's also a bit of a deep dive on why this should be a national issue and what are some of the things that have went wrong since 2016/17 with regards to getting an agreement in place to get some boots and machinery on the ground in Ardrossan to upgrade what is at the moment a privately owned asset by Peel Group/ Peel Ports. In the week of recording Transport Scotland and the Scottish Government issued a press release to say they were pursuing the potential purchase of the harbour, we chat about some of the implications of that and what the future holds for SAH, the three towns and Arran.

You'll hear first hand what the logistics were of females first steps in the Irish army alongside subjects such as isolation, mindset & psychology etc. Karina is campaigning to make military's across the world safe places for women to work at without fear of assault. so, that does take up the bulk of this discussion.

    Social Murder? With David Walsh From Glasgow University

    This podcast sees me chatting with David Walsh who's a Professor of Health Inequalities at Glasgow University. He's also co authored a book with the same title as the podcast. We talk about the shocking impact of austerity policies on life expectancy and what kind of political decisions have triggered this and some policies that could be changed to improve things. Austerity on its own sounds like any other noun but, when you break down what austerity actually does, the human impact of austerity policies and ideology then, the data and the figures revealed in the book is pretty horrific. We delve into that here, please help to spread the word about this by listening or purchasing the book which whilst a heavy subject matter is a fascinating read.   Hosted on Acast.
