Shepherdess Amanda Owen, Alistair Moffat's new book and a discussion on fake news.

Shepherdess, writer and mother of nine Amanda Owen, Alistair Moffatt on finding peace and his latest book about Lindisfarne, and do we have the skills to recognise fake news?

Shepherdess, writer, business woman and mother of nine, Amanda Owen’s life is never dull. In a special interview recorded at this year’s Borders Book Festival, she joins Sally Magnusson to discuss balancing family life with sheep-herding on her farm in the Yorkshire Dales.

Historian Alistair Moffatt’s latest book is a form of secular pilgrimage to the holy isle of Lindisfarne, walking in the footsteps of the seventh century monk St Cuthbert. Sally talks to him about using the solitude to meditate on his own life, allowing the famous “isle of healing” to heal him.

Are we learning the necessary skills to recognise fake news? Rosa Murray, co-director of Teacher Education partnerships at the University of Edinburgh, and Dr Jennifer Jones, who writes about Media, Citizen Journalism and the Internet on mapping a way through what’s true and what’s not.

In our occasional series of Inspirations, children’s author Vivian French describes why her father’s joie de vivre and insatiable imagination sparked her creativity and set her on her own career path as a writer.

Bruxy Cavey is an inspirational Canadian pastor who runs a ‘church for people who don’t like church’. He explains his unconventional approach to ministry and why he’s attending a Christian festival on the banks of the River Spey this week.

The world is heading for a frankincense shortage due to drought, habitat loss and overproduction. The Very Reverend Kelvin Holdsworth, the Provost of St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, Glasgow, describes what frankincense is, its history and why it plays such a significant role in religious practice.
