Grant talks to Jonathan Pie creator Tom Walker and Matthew Bourne talks about Cinderella.

Art historian Anne Ellis and Rev Philip Blackledge discuss The Picture of Dorian Gray for our Book Group, and Shona McCarthy talks about the Edinburgh Festival Fringe launch.

As the programme for the 2018 Edinburgh Festival Fringe is announced, the Fringe's Chief Executive joins Grant in the studio to reveal this year's line-up and highlights. 

Cutting edge choreographer Matthew Bourne discusses his hit dance production of Cinderella, which sets the familiar fairy tale in London during the Blitz. 

Our June Book Group read is The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde's only novel. First published in 1890, the book is a moral tale of youth, beauty and corruption, and on its initial publication it received savage reviews and public condemnation. Does it still have the power to shock today? 

Author Alex Wheatle discusses his latest book - Home Boys - which is inspired by the years he spent in a brutal children's home in the 1980s. 

And Radio Scotland's own Theresa Talbot reviews Planes, Trains and Automobiles - a new exhibition at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery which explores the evolution of our transport network and the ways in which photographers have documented popular forms of travel. 

Jonathan Pie creator Tom Walker talks about his upcoming Scottish gigs in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Inverness.
