Meet Buzz: Scotland’s new peer-led magazine

In this episode, SDF CEO Kirsten Horsburgh is joined by her new co-host Jason Wallace, Programme Manager for Lived and Living Experience at SDF, alongside Hannah Westwater, Editor & Content Creator and Billy McKay, Peer Community Engagement Officer for Buzz. They discuss the launch of ‘Buzz’ - a bold, peer-led magazine created, developed and led by an Editorial Board, all of whom are people with living experience of drug use in Scotland.

The team explore how the magazine was produced, how the Peer Editorial Board create the content, and how Buzz amplifies the authentic voices from the community. They also share plans for future issues and the vision for the magazine as a tool for connection, conversation, and challenging stigma across Scotland.
