BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, With Tony Kearney

Hope for humanity and the power of imagination

Tony Kearney explores the repercussions of the US protests against police brutality; and how letting our imagination break free can help us create a different world post-lockdown.

Is humanity inherently good or evil? Tony talks to Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind, on why we can still have faith in ourselves as a species.

We’re allowing our imagination to take flight. What might be possible, and maybe even better, in a reshaped world after lockdown, and what are the potential benefits for our health of day-dreaming and allowing our imagination to roam free? Tony chats to Briana Pegado, Executive Director of Creative Edinburgh; community arts facilitator, Jan Carson; and Quaker and scholar Alastair McIntosh.

As the US and the rest of the world see protests continue after the death of George Floyd, Tony discusses with Briana Pegado the repercussions of those events and the pressures of protest under lockdown.

And to mark the start of Carers Week, an insight into a husband and wife team, carer and cared-for, on the challenges of life during Covid-19.
