Writer Michael Rosen on his recovery from COVID-19

Michael Rosen on recovery and creativity; crofter John Maclean muses on island life; Dr Rachel Allan with an invaluable handbook to navigate us through challenging times.

The Olympics is in full swing in Tokyo and this year marks only the second Games that athletes from a Refugee Olympic team will compete. Tony is joined by Sarah Epstein from the United Nations Refugee Agency to hear some of their stories. 
Reporter Monica Brown heads out to a back garden in Edinburgh to explore how new friendships can flourish in these strange times. 
When former Children’s Laureate, Michael Rosen, developed flu like symptoms last March he didn’t realise he was experiencing Covid. He went on to spend 40 days in an induced coma. Michael talks to Tony and shares how his recovery from Covid has influenced his latest work, ‘Different Kinds of Love’. 
How do we deal with the anxiety of adapting to the ‘new normal’? Dr Rachel Allan discusses her new practical handbook on mental health and Radio 1 journalist and Ambassador for ‘See Me’ Shiona McCallum talks about what she has learnt about managing anxiety.
Crofter John Maclean joins Tony to review the new atmospheric Scottish documentary ‘Prince of Muck’ about Lawrence MacEwan who inherited the family farm, and the island of Muck from his father.
