We tend to think of growth going only in one direction and always as a positive; an idea being challenged by LESS, Scotland’s new journal of de-growth. Mike Small, part of the editorial collective, tells Cathy Macdonald why we need to rethink growth. 
 
When you’ve been raised in a religious household, how much of the religious residue remains even when you have moved away from faith? Cathy explores this with writer Jan Carson, who grew up in a Northern Irish Presbyterian home, Medeia Cohan, who had an American liberal Jewish upbringing, and Mike Small, who grew up in a Church of Scotland family. 
 
After the year we’ve had, will we be taking a different approach to new year’s resolutions in 2021?  Executive Coach and author Jackee Holder joins Jan Carson and Medeia Cohan to discuss goal setting. 
 
GP Gavin Francis talks about his new book, Intensive Care: A GP, A Community, & COVID-19.
 
And Cathy continues the discussion about community and how it’s been affected by the pandemic, with Gavin Francis, Jan Carson, a Community Arts Facilitator, and interfaith minister Jackee Holder.
 
Singer Eddi Reader and musician Rab Noakes chat about this year’s Celtic Connection’s festival, which will look very different to previous ones. They look at how the folk music scene has responded to the pandemic, and the effect of not having live music on both musicians and audiences.
