BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Carys Bray, Hannah Lavery and BBC Upload

Carys Bray discusses her new book and we hear what our audience is making with BBC Upload.

Hannah Lavery discusses her two new works How Are You Sleeping and Lament for Sheku Bayoh. And we go behind the scenes with presenter of the official Strictly podcast Kim Winston.

Janice will be talking to the Costa-shortlisted writer Carys Bray's new novel When The Lights Go Out about how one family faces the everyday pressures of encroaching climate change.

Writer Hannah Lavery talks about her new work Lament for Sheku Bayoh, and about being commissioned by Literature Alliance Scotland to create a piece of work on that now very familiar word ‘wellbeing’. Hannah will be discussing the resulting work, How Are You Sleeping?

Janice speaks to two young people from Birds of Paradise theatre company as we continue to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act.

We’ll delve again into the recent submissions to the BBC’s Upload platform with Anna Welander, reflecting what our audiences are making and creating.

And there’s the Strictly Come Dancing week four round up from the presenter of the Official Strictly Podcast, Kim Winston.
