BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Jarred McGinnis, Luke Jerram and Love Island

Writer Jarred McGinnis, artist Luke Jerram, and the return of Love Island.

Janice talks to author Jarred McGinnis, plus artist Luke Jerram on his pandemic-inspired new work, and reviews of Love Island and Laura Mvula's new album.

Writer Jarred McGinnis tells Janice about his debut novel The Coward, inspired in part by his own experiences as a wheelchair user, combining humour with themes of disability, class, masculinity and parenting.

The Afternoon Show’s Anna Welander visits the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh to meet artist Luke Jerram, whose artwork In Memoriam, a tribute to the lives lost during the pandemic, has just been installed in the Gardens.

Filmmaker Nick Broomfield revisits his fascination with the murders of legendary rappers Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls in new documentary Last Man Standing.

And in the Tuesday Review, broadcaster Stuart Cosgrove, journalist Arusa Qureshi and TV critic Scott Bryan discuss the return of Love Island, plus Hemingway, a series about the American author from documentary maker Ken Burns, and Pink Noise, the new album from Laura Mvula.
