Welcome to Young Scotcast with Capital Scotland’s Katy J!
We are partnering with Capital FM to deliver Young Scotcast – to entertain and inform young people across Scotland.
Katy J, the Capital Scotland drivetime presenter, is hosting the podcasts. Katy previously worked with us as a part of our #AyeFeel campaign. She shared her experience living with endometriosis in her #AyeFeel blog and took over our Instagram for an Q&A to answer young people’s questions about living with endometriosis.
The podcasts will focus on the subjects and issues that matter the most to young people currently in Scotland, including:
LGBTQIA+ issues
Vaccine myth busting
Mental health
Hacking, privacy and cyber-crime prevention
Gender-based violence
Money saving and debt advice
We’re launching the series with an episode featuring a conversation with RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner, Lawrence Chaney. Lawrence with her tongue-in-cheek humour speaks candidly about experiences growing up in a small town and getting bullied for being different. Sharing her journey from moving to Glasgow and entering the drag scene there, Lawrence reflects on LGBTQIA+ community in the UK and her journey to self-love.
This episode will inspire and bring new perspective to young people who might feel like they don’t fit in – Lawrence being a shining example of rising up in the face of adversity and learning to love yourself.
