**Our final episode before the Scottish Parliament election is here.**

In a special election themed podcast, Ali and Mags took a look at some of the claims in the third leader’s debate on [Channel 4](https://www.theferret.scot/fact-check-scottish-party-leaders-channel-4-debate/), and interviewed a very special guest.

Politics professor at Strathclyde and noted polling expert [**John Curtice**](https://www.strath.ac.uk/staff/curticejohnprof/?ref=theferret.scot) dropped in to tell us all about what polls can and can’t tell you, as well as what to be wary of when seeing polls reported in the media and online.
