Featuring the Costa Book of the Year winner, plus Maureen Beattie and David Neilson.

Janice Forsyth tunes into what is happening in arts, culture and music across Scotland. Featuring the Costa Book of the Year winner, plus Maureen Beattie and David Neilson.

The newly- announced Costa Book of the Year winner reacts with Janice to the award.

David Neilson and Chris Gascoyne, best known for their Coronation Street roles, talk about swapping small screen for stage to fulfil a long-held ambition to perform the Beckett play Endgame. They're joined by Artistic Director of The Citizens' Theatre in Glasgow, Dominic Hill.

Actor Maureen Beattie discusses her long professional association with the late W. Gordon Smith, the art and theatre critic, author and film-maker, and explains what it meant to her to present a brand new prize set up in his name to winner Robbie Bushe, who joins her in studio.

How You Gonna Live Your Dash? We hear about a play that explores those moments in a life that change its course forever.

The petition to Save Scotland's School Libraries: we find out what it is that so touched 2,600 people that they added their names to the campaign.

And- Edinburgh duo The Jellyman's Daughter has been wowing social media users with the cover version of Young American that they recorded in tribute to the late David Bowie, together with as many of their musician friends as they could pull together at short notice. They'll talk about that very special recording experience and also play live.
