Air Date: March 24th, 2026

Hosts: Lord Willie Haughey and Sir Tom Hunter

The Go Radio Business Show with Barclays Hampden Hospitality and Events

Fresh off a whirlwind week in Scottish politics and business, Hunter & Haughey dive into a candid, no-nonsense conversation on the decisions shaping Scotland’s economic future.

They tackle the headlines—falling inflation (or is it a “false dawn”?), the spiralling cost and chaos of HS2, and what it really takes to execute massive infrastructure projects. Along the way, they spotlight local success stories like Clyde Gateway and Glasgow’s ambitious housing targets, proving that strong leadership and delivery still matter.

Honest, sharp, and packed with insight, this episode blends politics, economics, and real-world business experience you won’t hear anywhere else.
