Belinda Davids on playing Whitney Houston

BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Belinda Davids on playing Whitney Houston

Belinda Davids tells Janice about making a career out of being Whitney Houston.

Belinda Davids tells Janice about playing Whitney and our Tuesday reviewers give their verdict on Kim Wilde's latest album, Brett Anderson's memoir and US TV comedy SMILF.

Belinda Davids tells Janice about playing Whitney in The Greatest Love of All - The Whitney Houston Show ahead of it coming to Glasgow. And as part of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, we hear about A Different Drum - a Scottish play about finding your joy, and a litte bit about drumming with actor Libby McCarthur and writer David Cosgrove. We also discover how storybooks can be a great way to broach important topics with children with writers Ruby Lovell and Tom Morgan Jones whose current books tackle messages of diversity and anxiety. 

In the second hour Janice drafts in this week's Tuesday Reviewers, Alan Bissett, Hannah McGill and Pasquale Iannone to give their verdict on SMILF, a new American comedy series, Suede frontman Brett Anderson's memoir Coal Black Mornings and Kim Wilde's latest album Here Come the Aliens.
