Janice Forsyth chats to acclaimed author Roddy Doyle about his new novel, arts producer Wezi Mhura speaks to Ally from Young Fathers and talks of her love for Jackie Kay

Author Roddy Doyle tells Janice about his latest book Love – a novel exploring male friendships and late-blooming romance. 

This week’s Black History Month Guest Editor is arts producer Wezi Mhura, whose latest project is the Black Lives Matter Mural Trail, which has showcased the work of 40 artists of colour in 8 different cities across Scotland.  

Wezi talks to Ally Massaquoi from Young Fathers, explains why she loves the work of poet Jackie Kay, and highlights the work of black filmmakers, theatre practitioners and musicians working in Scotland.  

And in the Tuesday Review, Wezi and fellow reviewers Amy Taylor and Mary Paulson Ellis give their verdicts on The Undoing – a new drama from the team behind Big Little Lies, starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant; plus Out of Her Mind, a new comedy written by and starring Sara Pascoe, and The Trial of the Chicago 7 – a new courtroom drama from Aaron Sorkin, based on a 1969 trial of anti-war protestors.
