Air Date: March 15th, 2026
Hosts: Lord Willie Haughey and Sir Tom Hunter
This is a catch-up version of the weekly, Go Radio Business Show, Sundays from 11am.
A high‑stakes housing summit with Scotland’s Housing Minister and industry leaders. The conversation quickly widens into a fast‑moving tour of Scotland’s most pressing business and economic challenges — and a few positive surprises.
The Union Street Fire Fallout
A deep dive into the devastating blaze at Glasgow Central Station’s doorstep — what caused it, how unregulated vape shops factor in, and the massive long‑term consequences for businesses, infrastructure, and the city’s heritage.
Scotland’s Housing Emergency: Solutions or Stalemate?
Fresh from a roundtable with major housebuilders, Willie and Tom unpack:
Scotland’s looming housebuilding shortfall
The impact of 472 mortgage products vanishing from the market this week alone
Why Build‑to‑Rent could become the lifeline for the sector
The newly passed rent bill — and why every party except the Greens backed it
Geopolitics & the Economy: Turbulence Ahead
The escalating Iran conflict and its shockwaves:
Oil spiking over $100 a barrel
Lenders slashing credit limits
Mortgage rates rising despite falling inflation
Whether someone, somewhere, knows something the public doesn’t
Energy Security & National Priorities
From fracking to renewables to nationalisation, the duo debate:
America’s energy independence vs. UK vulnerability
The fragility of the North Sea transition
Why energy, water and utilities may need to be part of national security
The Curious Case of Prestwick vs. the Ferries
A tale of two state interventions:
Prestwick Airport’s surprising turnaround
Ferguson Marine’s ferry fiasco — six years late, over budget, and needing new propellers after less than a year
Business Wins & Losses
The fall of Innis & Gunn
Lessons from failure and why entrepreneurs should talk about it
Good news: RBS’s commitment to support 5,000 entrepreneurs and boost Scottish Edge funding
