BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, 10/09/2017

Joining Sally, two young Scots who were part of an interfaith group just back from Rwanda.

Funnyman Miles Jupp talks about comedy, religion and food. Plus the pros and cons of a basic unconditional income for all, and our relationship with the rituals of death.

He's made us laugh in 'The Thick of It', 'Rev', and BBC Radio 4's 'News Quiz', funnyman Miles Jupp talks comedy, religion and food with Sally Magnusson. 

We go back to school to find out how the prejudice faced by the travelling community is being tackled in the classroom, with traveller sisters Bernadette and Meg Williamson.

Is it time for a radical rethink of the benefits system and the value we place on a citizen? Director Christian Tod explains why he chose the concept of universal basic income for his latest film, 'Free Lunch Society'; and Siobhan Mathers of Reform Scotland, and Robert Colvile, editor of CapX, look at the pros and cons of a basic unconditional income for all. 

Junaid Ashraf and Gigha Lennox are part of a group of young Scots who are just back from Rwanda to see how interfaith peace and reconciliation efforts are working out there since the genocide in 1994. They join Sally in the studio along with Mirella Yandoli, the Church of Scotland's Interfaith Officer who was a group leader on the trip, to share their experiences.

And in his book 'My Father's Wake', Kevin Toolis explains what we, as a society that shuns death and privatizes mortality, can learn from the Irish wake. Kevin and Richard Holloway, writer and broadcaster, explore our relationship with the rituals of death and mourning.
