Special edition: Should young people stand for election?
We take a deeper look at the row over young people in politics in this mid-week special, with the extended interviews from the episode that aired on Friday. We hear from Emma Roddick, Scotland's youngest active MSP, as she reveals how was belittled by fellow politicians for being a young, disabled woman.
Plus we hear about the exodus of political talent facing local authorities if they fail to make council business more accessible to working-age people, and analyse the barriers stopping younger activists from running for public office.
