Beyonce's new album is reviewed, plus Janice talks to Zinnie Harris and Lloyd Grossman.

Fiona Shepherd reviews Beyonce's new album, Lemonade, Janice talks to playwright Zinnie Harris, and Lloyd Grossman discusses his book on 18th-century artist Sir Benjamin West.

Beyonce's surprising new album, Lemonade, is reviewed by music critic Fiona Shepherd. 

Writer Zinnie Harris talks about This Restless House, which is her contemporary take on epic Greek family drama, Aeschylus' The Oresteia. It's the first trilogy to be hosted by the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow. 

The Scottish Chamber Orchestra's Chorus is celebrating 25 years so conductor Richard Egarr will be in studio to explain why Bach's great Magnificat is the perfect piece to perform as a celebration of their talents.

Only 1800 words convinced Penguin to give him a book deal; Martin Stewart talks about his debut YA novel Riverkeep, inspired by the real life river men of Glasgow.

The 2016 Folk Film Gathering opens in Edinburgh with the film 'Shepherds of Berneray', a 1981 documentary by Allen Moore and Jack Shea which follows the lives of shepherds on the tiny island of Berneray in the Outer Hebrides. Janice discusses the film with the late Jack Shea's wife, Yvonne Baginsky.

Both Lloyd Grossman and Philip Mould are appearing at this year's Boswell Book Festival - Lloyd Grossman will be talking about his new book uncovering the work of 18th Century artist Sir Benjamin West. Philip Mould has been uncovering art in a different way- and will be talking about his book 'Sleuth: The Amazing Quest for Lost Art Treasures'. Both will be on the show to tell Janice about their own personal stories of uncovering art - and learning more about themselves.
