Janice Forsyth with the winner of the BBC National Short Story Award.

Janice Forsyth tunes into arts, culture and music across Scotland. Plus, the winner of the BBC National Short Story Award and set designer John Macfarlane.

Announced last night, the winner of the BBC National Short Story Award joins us live.

Janice meets John Macfarlane, the internationally renowned theatre set, costume designer and painter who has worked with the New York Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Ballet and many more, as he opens an exhibition in Scotland at Compass Gallery, where he was first shown as a graduate in 1970. 

We find out about Cumbernauld Theatre Company's dramatic new production of John Osborne's era-defining 1950s play, Look Back in Anger.

Owner of the largest second-hand bookshop in Scotland, Shaun Bythell gives us a tour of the place, the inspiration for the newly published and very funny The Diary of a Bookseller.

Artist Calum McClure talks about being part of the Generations of Colour exhibition, showing his work alongside that of his grandfather, Scottish artist and lecturer David McClure.

And the monthly book group convenes once more to discuss Philip K Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
