Black Friday, History Hacks and Bad Parents Club.

On the phone in: Black Friday or Buy Nothing Day – which one are you buying into? Also on the show: History Hacks, menopause lessons for men and Bad Parents Club

PHONE IN: BLACK FRIDAY/ BUY NOTHING DAY
Shoppers are set to splurge on what could be the biggest Black Friday yet, experts say. Analysts PWC predict £8.7bn will be spent - up from £7.8bn in 2019 and about twice as much as last year when the UK was in lockdown. But today is also Buy Nothing Day a protest described as “a 24 hour detox from consumerism and an opportunity for you to tune into the impact we have on the environment through shopping.”

Stephen Asks: Black Friday or Buy Nothing Day – which one are you buying into?


ALSO ON THE SHOW: 

HISTORY HACKS 
Our brand-new weekly feature to help us brush up on Scotland’s past. Can you guess this week's key event or figure from the clues? Karen and Rachael - aka The History Girls – will be here with their brand of 'history, heritage and hilarity'.

HIGHLINING
How would you fancy inching your way along a slack line 60 metres up on the Old Man Of Storr? Me neither! But we'll speak to one student who's embraced the extreme sport of Highlining - and find out how to do it safely. Don't try this at home kids! 

WHAT'S ON GUIDE 
Your must-have guide to what's on across the country this weekend including Christmas markets in the East, French movies, Sir Walter Scott and kindness in Dundee.

MEN-OPAUSE LESSONS 
Could menopause lessons for men help save a marriage? We'll speak to the woman whose own relationship broke down after she entered the menopause aged just 40 - and find out why she's on a mission to spread understanding to the nation's men.

BOWLING
Scotland’s oldest bowling club – founded in 1740 – has been forced to shut following decades of declining membership. It’s the latest casualty of dwindling interest in the sport. How can bowls be rebooted for a younger generation? 

BAD PARENTS CLUB
Clued up, real as you like and bad to the bone. That's our Bad Parents Club - join Nell Frizell, Billy Kirkwood and Becca Miller as they talk sibling rivalry, babies in the workplace and - of course - Peppa Pig.
