BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Mark Millar, Brooke Combe, and Mental Health Awareness Week

Mark Millar on Jupiter's Legacy, plus Mental Health Awareness Week.

Mark Millar talks about his new series for Netflix, Jupiter's Legacy. Plus Edinburgh songwriter Brooke Combe, and a new series of monologues to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.

Janice talks to comic book artist Mark Millar about Juipter's Legacy, about his new series for Netflix, and why he prefers trips to Ayr to being in Hollywood.

St Andrews based author Mick Kitson discusses his new novel Featherweight, set in the boxing rings and canal barges of Victorian England, and inspired by his own family history. 

For Mental Health Awareness  Week, The Afternoon Show launches Breaking Point, a new series of monologues based on the experiences of real men, plus discussions of the issues they raise. 

This week’s Afternoon Show Single of the Week is Are You With Me? by 21 year old Edinburgh songwriter Brooke Combe.

As Scottish Ballet launch their digital Safe to be Me festival, we revisit the workshops run by the project in 2019 at Glasgow’s Bankhead Primary.

And Anna Welander is back with another selection of listener’s submissons to BBC Radio Scotland’s Upload, this week centred around the theme of mental health awareness.
