BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Marian Keyes, Nathaniel Rateliff, Andrew Meehan and the Oscars.

Janice Forsyth is in conversation with Irish authors Marian Keyes and Andrew Meehan.

Nathaniel Rateliff talks about his upcoming tour, his new album and how bereavement informed his songs, and Alistair Harkness and Raisah Ahmed discuss the Oscars with Janice.

Janice delves into the 92nd Oscars with film critic Ali Harkness and writer and director Raisah Ahmed, discussing big winners and surprise losses, and much more.

Janice will be in conversation one of Ireland’s most successful authors of all time Marian Keyes, who will be talking about her new book Grown Ups, which examines what it means to be a grown up in the modern world, and what happens when people refuse to act like them.  

Author, script writer and former head of development at the Irish Film Board, Andrew Meehan talks about The Mystery of Love, his witty re-imagining of the relationship between Oscar and Constance Wilde.

Our Single of the Week is DAZED, the latest single by Glasgow pop-combo QUICHE. Juan Laforet, Ally Stirrat and Jamie McAuley from the band join Janice in the studio.

Nathaniel Rateliff talks about his new solo album And It's Still Alright, which is his first in nearly seven years, his divorce and the death of his friend and collaborator Richard Swift ahead of his upcoming gig at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall in April. 

The Artistic Director of Scottish Dance Theatre Joan Cleville and performer Solene Weinachter tell Janice about their collaboration Antigone, Interrupted, which re-imagines the Greek tragedy Antigone using dance, theatre and storytelling, and which will premiere at Perth theatre on Friday the 14th of February.
