Janice has live music from Findlay Napier and Stuart Cosgrove talks about his new book.

Janice talks to the cast of the stage adaptation of Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting. Plus Greg James tells Nicola Meighan about his new TV show Sounds Like Friday Night and much more.

Radio Scotland's Stuart Cosgrove has published the second part of his history of soul music trilogy. Memphis 68 chronicles the interaction between southern soul and the US civil rights music. He tells Janice all about it.

In the latest edition of our Talking Pictures series, Lesley Riddoch chats to Anne Ellis about her favourite painting: 'Line Fishermen' by Kaare Espolin Johnson. 

After the success of T2, Trainspotting the play is back on at Glasgow's Citizens Theatre. Actors Lorn MacDonald who plays Renton and Chloe-Ann Taylor who plays Alison, Lizzie and Dianne stop by.

In 1987, The Vigorous Imagination showcased the works of 17 young artists who were making waves on the international art scene, featuring the powerful new wave of figurative art then prevalent. We hear about two new concurrent exhibitions in Glasgow and Edinburgh to mark the 30th anniversary of the display.

Greg James chats to Nicola Meighan about his new BBC One show Sounds Like Friday Night.

Twenty years ago folk singer-songwriter Findlay Napier moved from Speyside to the 14th floor of the Red Road Flats in Glasgow to studio study Traditional Scottish Folk Music at the RCS. In honour of that move he's recorded a second solo album, Glasgow, about his adoptive home. He joins Janice for a live session.
