BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, 30/08/2015

Ricky Ross is joined by journalist Polly Toynbee, who talks about her career.

Ricky Ross is joined by journalist Polly Toynbee, who talks about her career and the fascinating political landscape of the UK.

Ricky is joined by the 'queen of leftist journalists', considered by many to be the most influential columnist in the UK. Polly Toynbee talks about her career and the fascinating political landscape we're currently living in.

In our series on inspirational moments in people's lives, we hear from Marzanna Antoniak who came to Scotland seven years ago without any English, recalling the book that paved the way to her learning the language. She's now a volunteer English teacher and helps organise free multicultural events.

In the early 1990's most of us were horrified by the TV images of neglected children who had been abandoned in state run Romanian orphanages. Although some children were adopted overseas many were left. Ricky is joined by Ben Welles and Alan Barr involved with projects in Romania and the UK, helping those orphans who grew into adults.

Photographic artist Natasha Caruana put together an exhibition and book based on a unique experiment involving dating sites for married men. She talks about the unexpected meetings and conversations she had. 

A recent survey by the Evangelical Alliance put the deadly sin of lust right up there as one of the most dangerous sins in society. Ricky is joined by BBC Radio Scotland's regular Thought for the Day contributors and United Church of Bute minister, Owain Jones, and philosophy tutor at the University of Edinburgh, Elizabeth Drummond-Young, to find out why lust continues to fascinate us.

Photographer Thomas Joshua Cooper and his wife Kate Mooney have collaborated on a project for the very first time, travelling around Scotland in the footsteps of some ancient Celtic Saints, photographing some of the special places where the saints laid roots.
