BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, 06/04/2014

Award-winning writer Meg Rosoff joins Richard to talk about life and writing.

Award-winning writer Meg Rosoff joins Richard to talk about life, writing, psychoanalysis and her fight with cancer.

She may be in her 50s, but as she says herself, she has a great affinity with the adolescent mind and Meg Rosoff's books are a testimony to that. The award-winning writer joins Richard to talk about life, writing, psychoanalysis and her fight with cancer.

Should Scotland have a written constitution - and if so, does religion have any place in it? Joining Richard to discuss this is Lorna Hood, the Moderator of the Church of Scotland's General Assembly, Ronnie Convery, Communications Director of the Archdiocese of Glasgow, and Gary McLelland, Education Policy Officer at the Humanist Society Scotland. 

Amanda Lindhout talks about the reporting assignment that took her from her native Canada to Somalia, where she was kidnapped and held captive for more than a year. She has since forgiven her captors, and founded a charity which funds women's education projects in Somalia.

As Darren Aronofsky's Noah is released in cinemas across the UK, Ronnie Convery, and the British Museum's Irving Finkel, who is also author of The Ark Before Noah, share their thoughts on the film's religious themes, and give us their verdict on how well Bible stories fare when adapted for the big screen.

And, we remember Margo MacDonald.
