BBC Radio Scotland - The Janice Forsyth Show, 19/03/2014

Janice Forsyth talks to comedian Lucy Porter and musician Willie Campbell.

Janice Forsyth celebrates the north with comedian Lucy Porter and talks about language with former Astrid frontman Willie Campbell.

Do you have a spiritual home? Comedian Lucy Porter tells Janice why she's always wanted to be a northerner. 

From the north to Nordic-noir: Cilla and Rolf Börjlind are a Swedish husband-and-wife team who have written the scripts for many a Scandinavian crime drama. Now they've penned a novel of their own.

Willie Campbell, former frontman of Astrid, is about to release a new album - in Gaelic. He talks to Janice about life and language. 

Former teacher Christopher Rush explains why he chose Shakespeare as a main character in his novel Will. And Janice hears about a modern literary giant: Frankétienne, a Haitian poet and playwright whose work is celebrated in Glasgow this week.

Plus a new film, Svengali, and why for actor Jonny Owen, the story of getting it to screen is itself worthy of a movie plot.
