Today we welcome Michaela Scott onto the R2Kast! 🎙️ At only 19, Michaela is already shaping the political conversation in Scotland. A student of Criminology and Politics at Stirling, she is passionate about ensuring young people in rural areas have a real say in decisions that shape their lives. 🗳️🌱

We dive into how criminology and politics overlap, from injustices in the justice system to policy making, and how Michaela has used this mix to strengthen her voice. She shares openly about speaking in the Scottish Parliament, shadowing MSPs, and even turning down an offer to run for election while still at uni because she values gaining experience first. 💬🏛️

Michaela speaks with energy about youth voices, education, and the need for politics to be explained in ways that everyone can understand. Her story is a reminder that confidence grows from opportunities, and that young leaders can step into rooms that once felt unreachable. 🌍✨

An inspiring conversation with someone who is just getting started on a journey that could shape Scottish politics in years to come.

Enjoy! 😊
