Honestly?

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio OrkneyLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio Scotland Extra

Be honest, how honest are you? What is the value in being honest – with others and with ourselves? Are there costs as well as benefits in being open and honest about everything. When does it pay to hide the truth?

Lee Craigie jumps on her bike to take a journey along the rocky road that honesty throws up. Can honesty and politics go together? Kezia Dugdale reveals some of the times she was caught for being too honest and her regrets over perhaps not being as honest as she'd have liked. Real Talk founder Lily Asch talks about the benefit of honesty when it comes to mental health and how telling your story honestly can be hugely cathartic, while comedian Bruce Morton says honesty is not always the best policy, its too uncomfortable and some things are best left unsaid, both on and off the stage.

Prepare yourself for a powerful, thought provoking and at times painfully honest ride. Show less
