BBC Radio Scotland - The Janice Forsyth Show, Edi Stark sits in

Edi Stark sits in for Janice and discusses variety with Elaine C Smith and Allan Stewart.

Edi Stark sits in for Janice Forsyth and discusses variety with Elaine C Smith and Allan Stewart, plus Amy Macdonald talks about an album that has been important to her.

Turner-prize winning artist Mark Wallinger tells Edi about his first ever exhibition in Scotland, a linked pair of shows in Edinburgh and Dundee.

Rachel Abbott first uploaded her work to Kindle in 2011 after giving up the traditional publishing route and has since become a 'self-publishing sensation'. She has now sold over 2 million novels and is the UK's leading independent novelist. She tells Edi about her latest book, The Sixth Window.

Pauline Moore visits Window Wanderland in Glasgow's Strathbungo, a night of public art in the windows of private houses.

Our Single Of The Week is Start It Over by Acting Strange. The two cousins who form the band, Ali and Billy Strange, tell us about it - and about learning the craft from their taxidermist uncle.

Elaine C. Smith and Allan Stewart tell Edi about their new variety show.

And we begin a new occasional series called Inside Tracks in which musicians discuss an album that has been an important part of their lives and creative development. In the first episode, Amy MacDonald tells Nicola Meighan why Bruce Springsteen's album Born In the USA means so much to her, and how it influenced her own new album, Under Stars.
