How to Start a Revolution is a new documentary film revealing how one man's work has helped a generation of people achieve freedom in the face of oppression...and to achieve it peacefully. Scottish film maker & journalist Ruaridh Arrow joins Clare from Boston as he tours the U.S. with his new film.

They may have been the headbanging kings of metal, but that doesn't mean they can't enter the respectable domain of a centre of culture. We find out more about Scotland's secret love of AC/DC, at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery where you can visit an exhibition commemorating the Highway to Hell boys.

Plus live music on the show courtesy of The Dead Man's Waltz, who acquaint us with 'folk-noir'. Show less
