An emergency law to free inmates early is coming in to bring down the prison population.

We hear from Barlinnie's governor, Michael Stoney, and a former inmate on what it's like inside Scotland’s biggest and busiest jail.

And after Super Bowl LIX, Natalie hears about Martin’s former life as an NFL host.

Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
