Janice Forsyth meets Will Young, and reviews Margaret Atwood's much hyped The Testaments.

Will Young talks about latest album Lexicon, and is Margaret Atwood's long-awaited The Testaments worth the hype? Plus Netflix thriller The Spy and Chrissie Hynde's jazz album.

Will Young is in studio chatting to Janice about new album Lexicon, going on tour, holidaying in Scotland, and working with Rankin.

Photographer Ilya Ilford moved from Russia to Edinburgh, and fell in love with the city's Leith Walk area. He tells Catrina Rose about his project documenting the people he encounters going up and down the street.

Margaret Atwood's long awaited sequel to The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments, has just been published.  Rosemary Goring and Jane Graham have read it, and give their verdicts.

Plus the Tuesday Review: critic Pasquale Iannone, poet Catherine Wilson and podcaster Halina Rifai review Netflix's new thriller starring Sacha Baron Cohen, The Spy; Penguin's new bedtime audio books for adults, Sleepy Tales; and Chrissie Hynde's genre-shift to jazz with album Rag Bone Woe.
