SCOTLAND’s first internet radio station dedicated to health and wellbeing is set to launch in the New Year as we come to the end of the annual season of over-indulgence.
Fife-based Wellbeing Radio will broadcast across the country and to the US and North America from noon on January 1, with a schedule of programmes promoting physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
Listeners will be able to tune in 24 hours a day to hear advice from wellbeing experts on talk shows, discussions and interviews featuring ancient yogic wisdom, meditation and relaxation techniques, along with mindful children’s stories.

The new station will broadcast across the UK, USA and Canada and feature a line-up of presenters from around the world who are experts in their chosen fields. They include seasoned broadcaster and voiceover artist JJ Stenhouse, who is based in Fife; clinical psychologist Dr Sarah Madigan, who will present a weekly Loved Up on Life programme; and French-born radical rest yogi Sophie Leon, an expert in rest and relaxation. The station’s flagship programme will be Wake Up the Right Way, a breakfast show presented by Zen yoga teacher and Wellbeing Radio co-founder Scott Hutchison-McDade and friends from 7-9am every weekday – preceded by a half-hour of meditation.
Wellbeing Radio’s schedule is also set to include a Holistic Scotland Hour delivered by Holistic Scotland Magazine, Scotland’s only natural health and wellbeing title.
The show, which will broadcast every evening between 8pm and 9pm from January 7, will be an extension of the magazine.
Hutchison-McDade said: “I’m excited to present Scotland’s first multimedia platform for health and wellbeing. After nearly a year in the making, I’m really pleased to see it come to fruition.
“After launching Scotland’s first healing sound therapy to combine silent disco technology with binaural beats earlier this year, it seems like a natural progression.
“Please check out the website for lots of insightful health and wellbeing articles and don’t forget to tune in on January 1.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
