Akram Khan is one of the UK's most innovative dancers and choreographers - best known for work combining the ancient Indian dance of Kathak with a whole host of contemporary collaborations - he's worked with Kylie, Juliette Binoche, artists Anish Kapoor and Anthony Gormley, and musician Nitin Sawhney. He joins Janice to discuss his show which opens tonight as part of the Edinburgh International Festival.

Kate Adie's work as a BBC news reporter in the 80s and 90s established her as an internationally respected journalist and a household name. Having posted unforgettable reports from events including the Lockerbie disaster, the Tiananmen Square massacre and the conflict in former Yugoslavia, Adie retired from the frontline in 2003 and today she talks to Janice about her life and work.
