As homelessness stats reach record highs in Scotland, the team asks what it’s really like not to have a home.

We talk to the editor of The Big Issue, Paul McNamee, and Sylvia Douglas, who experienced homelessness as a child and now supports women in poverty, about how to fix this complicated problem.

And Martin and Laura discuss whether they’re sick of looking at their own faces.
