BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Spring Awakening, Gerda Stevenson, plus reviews of Irvine Welsh and George Ezra

Janice Forsyth hears about Gerda Stevenson's written tribute to the women of Scotland.

Janice Forsyth talks to writers Helen McClory and Gerda Stevenson, and the Tuesday Review features George Ezra's new album, and Irvine Welsh's latest Book Dead Men's Trousers.

Author Helen McClory tells Janice about her new short story collection Mayhem and Death, and why she finds Jeff Goldblum a source of writing inspiration.

Gerda Stevenson has written a book, Quines, which features poems in tribute to women of Scotland. She's also written the libretto for a new opera, a modern take on Coleridge's epic The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Students from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland have joined forces with the Dundee Rep to stage coming of age rock musical Spring Awakening. Janice speaks to three of the cast.

And in the Tuesday Review, Morven Cunningham of Leith Late, journalist and musician Barry Gordon and comedian Liam Withnail review new BBC One drama Come Home, Irvine Welsh's new book Dead Men's Trousers, and George Ezra's album Staying at Tamara's.
