BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Dr Rangan Chatterjee, and remembering sculptor George Wyllie

Janice talks to Dr Rangan Chatterjee about wellbeing, plus the Tuesday Review.

Janice talks to Dr Rangan Chatterjee as he launches a new wellbeing radio show, and remembers sculptor George Wyllie in his centenary year. Plus Edinburgh-based author Ruth Thomas

Dr Rangan Chatterjee is the host of immensely popular health podcast Feel Better, Live More, and from the end of the month, he’ll be hosting a show on BBC Radio 2 with the aim of helping people prepare for the week ahead, and think about health and happiness.

Edinburgh-based author Ruth Thomas tells Janice about her new novel, The Snow and the Works on the Northern Line.

This year is the centenary of artist George Wyllie, and to mark it, a new Mapping Memories Project has been set up, to try to create an accessible map of all of his artworks – alongside memories and stories about the man himself.  His daughter Louise Wyllie and curator Lynne Mackenzie join Janice to explain more.

And in the Tuesday Review, Becca Harrison, Jenny Colgan and Catherine Simpson share their thoughts on new ITV drama Finding Alice, starring Keeley Hawes as a woman grieving her husband; The Great, a comedy loosely based on the life of Catherine the Great; and For Now, a scifi podcast starring Brian Cox and Richard Madden.
