Episode description

I'm joined by Scottish rapper, author and social commentator Darren ‘Loki’ McGarvey for a second time, on Blethered.

We talk about Darren’s new TV series ‘Class Wars’, coming soon on BBC Scotland, and we take a look at Scotland’s drug death statistics and the Scottish government’s recent response and actions to mitigate the crisis.

We also discuss suicide, and why deeply uncomfortable conversation will ultimately be more effective than well-intentioned hashtags and soundbites, plus plenty more.
