Cathy in conversation with Shona McCarthy

BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, Cathy in conversation with Shona McCarthy

Cathy talks to chief executive of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Shona McCarthy.

Shona McCarthy discusses the challenges of running the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, a look at the meaning of citizenship and the Scottish Parliament's World Press Photo Exhibition.

Cathy Macdonald talks to the Chief Executive of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Shona McCarthy, on the challenges of running the biggest arts event in the world in its 70th anniversary year.

Adam Kashmiry was born a girl in the Egyptian city of Alexandria but grew increasingly uncomfortable with the body he was born in. Having been forced to leave his home he settled in Glasgow. Now The National Theatre of Scotland has turned his life story into a production called ADAM. He talks to Cathy about what inspired the play which is part of The Traverse Theatre's Edinburgh Festival programme. 

In our corner of Europe we have got used to considering moving, living and working where we want. But now with Brexit negotiations underway this may be coming to an end. At the same time, millions of displaced people are on the move across Europe. David Goodman, member of the Jewish Reform Community, and Kenyan Scottish storyteller Mara Menzies join Cathy to discuss what it means to be a citizen and how we define our sense of identity and belonging. 

In her second report on the civil rights movement in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in the 1960s, Andrea Baker talks to people about the terrible events of Bloody Tuesday when parishioners were attacked in a church as they gathered to protest at the failure to desegregate the new City court house. 

And Cathy leaves the studio to view the World Press Photo exhibition at the Scottish Parliament. She's accompanied by internationally renowned photographer Tom Stoddart who discusses some of the challenging and thought-provoking examples of photojournalism from across the world, taken over the course of 2016.
