BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, 04/08/2019

Dr Susan Blackmore, Sir James MacMillan Concert, and a story for every day of the year.

Dr Susan Blackmore in conversation, Sir James MacMillan's 60th Birthday Concerts, and Malachi O’Doherty gives us his analysis of the past, present and future of Northern Ireland.

While studying at University in the 1970s, psychologist Dr Susan Blackmore had an out-of-body experience that went on to shape her lifelong research into the idea of life after death. She joins Sally to discuss her findings and how they’ve shaped her understanding of the nature of reality.

One of Scotland’s most eminent composers, Sir James MacMillan, talks to Sally about the series of concerts being performed at this year’s Edinburgh Festival to mark his 60th birthday, and the role faith has played in his musical life.

A story for every day of the year and a piece of music to accompany each one – author James Robertson and musician Aidan O’Rourke explain why they took on this mammoth task and how it challenged them creatively. 

Art historian Anne Ellis reviews a new BBC series exploring some of the world’s great spiritual buildings.

Waste not, want not! Reporter Bob Dickson looks at the ambitious work being done by an Edinburgh organisation to tackle the problem of food waste. 

And fifty years on from the night he was nearly shot by a sniper at the start of The Troubles, journalist Malachi O’Doherty gives us his analysis of the past, present and future of Northern Ireland.
