Grant Stott tunes into the best of Scottish arts, entertainment and music.

Grant Stott talks to Gary McNair and Ron Ferguson about Black Diamonds and the Blue Brazil, a new audio play based on Ron's book of the same name, about the trials and tribulations of following Cowdenbeath Football Club, once dubbed "the worst in Britain".

Illustrator and writer Abigail Balfe tells Grant about her new children's book A Different Sort of Normal, inspired by her learning as an adult that she is autistic.

BBC Scotland's own Roddy Hart and fellow composer Tommy Reilly have just won a Daytime Emmy for a song they composed for US cartoon Animaniacs - Grant hears all about their experience.

Actor Iain Roberston is halfway up a hill for this week's Getting to Know You challenge.

And Grant hears from Darren Forbes of Kirkcaldy band Shambolics, who talks about their new single Dreams, Schemes and Young Teams.
