Janice talks to novelist Marian Keyes, plus the Jennifer Ewan Band play live and more.

Novelist Marian Keyes talks about her essay collection, the Jennifer Ewan Band play live, and Janice talks to writer David Farr about a new John le Carre TV adaptation.

Best-selling Irish novelist, Marian Keyes on her latest collection of essays - Making it up as I go Along.
With performance skills honed on Edinburgh's unforgiving busking circuit, Jennifer Ewan brings a new project to the capital's singer-songwriter scene. After penning a batch of new, personal songs - written on the Edinburgh houseboat she calls home - Jen has pulled together some world-class players to develop and explore this new material. We'll get to hear some of this as The Jennifer Ewan Band play live in the studio.
A new adaptation of John Le Carre's The Night Manager starts this Sunday on BBC1, starring Hugh Laurie, Tom Hiddleston and Olivia Coleman. Janice speaks to screenwriter David Farr, and the series is up for discussion in today's Tuesday Review.
Stand-up comedian, Dave Chawner suffers from anorexia and uses his experience in his comedy to help remove the stigma surrounding eating disorders. This week sees the start of the BBC's In the Mind season and Dave is on tour with his show Normally Abnormal. He talks to Janice ahead of his gig at the University of St Andrews.
The Tuesday Reviewers are art critic Moira Jeffrey and arts writers Chitra Ramaswamy and Mark Fisher. As well as looking at The Night Manager, they'll be reviewing Chris Isaak's new album, First Comes the Night and touring exhibition, the British Art Show 8.
