BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, with Sally Magnusson

Dr Devi Sridhar reflects on Scotland's pandemic response.

Mountaineer Stephen Venables on how it feels to summit Everest; author Raynor Winn on her relationship with the natural world; Dr Devi Sridhar on becoming a pandemic spokesperson.

Comedian and financial columnist Dominic Frisby tells Sally Magnusson why he describes the Scottish Enlightenment philosopher Adam Smith as the father of the Edinburgh Fringe. 

In a special Edinburgh International Book Festival event, Sally talks to Raynor Winn, author of ‘The Salt Path’ and ‘The Wild Silence’, about her relationship with the natural world and how walking and working in it has changed her life and that of her terminally ill husband.  

Author Francis Spufford speaks about giving five children who died in a London rocket attack during the Second World War an alternate history, the subject of his highly anticipated second novel ‘Light Perpetual’.

Author and literary critic Stuart Kelly joins Francis Spufford to explore being taken seriously as a writer when you’re openly religious, and what being Christian has brought to their work.
 
In another Edinburgh International Book Festival conversation, Sally is joined by Dr Devi Sridhar, Professor of Global Public Health at the University of Edinburgh’s Medical School, to look at how we’ve managed the pandemic so far. 

Edinburgh based climber Stephen Venables who reached the summit of Everest 30 years ago, reviews The Ghosts Above, a new documentary which attempts to solve one of the great mysteries of the mountain as well as reflect on the commercialisation of the iconic peak.
