Euan Lownie tells Janice about his new book Never, Ever Take Anybody’s Advice on Anything.

Craig Gornall talks to Janice about Colplay's new album and decision to stream gigs in Jordan rather than touring because of Climate Change and Catherine Rudie on her new album.

On Monday Euan Lownie tells Janice about his new book Never, Ever Take Anybody’s Advice on Anything and other advice on careers and life from successful Scots, which asks people at the top of their career one simple question: What advice would you give to someone starting out in your field of work?

We hear about a new BBC Scotland documentary The Ideal Scotsman, which explores the mind-set of the modern Scottish man and asks ‘what makes the ideal Scotsman these days’ with presenter Rachel McCormack and one of the subjects of the show, author Chris McQueer. 

Janice’s new Single of the Week is Enough for You by pop duo brothers from Glasgow Able Faces. 

Kieran Evans talks about Manic Street Preachers concert film, BE PURE, BE VIGILANT. BEHAVE which he made during the ‘Holy Bible 20’ tour in 2014. 

Ex-international rugby player and serving police officer-turned-author Lee Cockburn talks about her new book Demon’s Fire, the third installment in her crime thriller series featuring DS Taylor Nicks and DS Marcus Black. 

Catherine Rudie, originally a traditional Gaelic singer and bagpipe player and winner of the Scottish Burn Song Award for songwriting, talks about her debut album of contemporary folk music The Mobius Kiss. 

Music journalist and broadcaster Craig Gornall shares his deep love of Coldplay with Janice, and takes a deep dive into their double new album Everyday Life and the two concerts which were broadcast from Jordan, free, to a global audience on YouTube.
