Baileys prize-winning author Naomi Alderman tells Janice about her incredible novel The Power, which has been critically acclaimed and lauded by Margaret Attwood.

DEADLINE is a show by Junction 25, the theatre group of 15 young performers between the ages of 11 and 18, which is about the glorification of working hard, society's definition of success and the affect it has on young people. We have one of the directors and some of the young cast members in studio talking about this topical show by young people for their peers.

Stacey Bentley is a jewellery maker from Yorkshire who chose to base herself in the Scottish Capital after graduating from the Edinburgh College of Art, and her work, which uses industrial-based enamel in contemporary design, is currently on display at the Scottish gallery. She'll tell Janice about how travelling the world led her to creating unique jewellery in Edinburgh. 

Edinburgh-born tailor and judge on the Great British Sewing Bee Patrick Grant left Scotland years ago but found himself returning to Edinburgh to be awarded an honorary doctorate by Heriot-Watt University. He tells Janice about how an Edinburgh boy ended up on Savile Row.

Our Tuesday Review team Robert Florence, Janette Ayachi, Neil Cooper and Raymond Mearns discuss female wrestlers ahead of new Netflix series about 80s women wrestlers GLOW, the new Proclaimers BBC Two documentary, and David Grossman's Man Booker Prize winning novel A Horse Walks into a Bar. They'll discuss TV, comedy, music and poetry throughout the second hour of the show and tell you what they think you should be doing this week.
