BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Ambika Mod on This Is Going to Hurt, Dick and Angel on Escape to the Chateau

Dick and Angel from Escape to the Chateau join Janice ahead of their Edinburgh live show.

Janice talks about the TV adaptation of Adam Kay's book This Is Going to Hurt with comedian, writer and actor Ambika Mod, and Matt Chorley discusses political comedy.

Comedian, actor and writer Ambika Mod will be here to tell us about starring as very green junior Doctor Shruti in the new drama series based on Adam Kay’s memoirs THIS IS GOING TO HURT which comes to BBC One and the iPlayer on Tuesday.
 
Dick and Angel Strawbridge from Channel 4’s Escape to the Chateau talk to Janice ahead of coming to Edinburgh as part of their DARE TO DO IT tour
 
Matt Chorley has spent the past 17 years in Westminster seeing up close how politics works, or doesn’t. After the sell-out success of his first tour This Is Not Normal, the award-winning Times columnist and Times Radio presenter speaks to Janice ahead of bringing his new show exploring who really calls the shots to The Stand venues in Edinburgh and Glasgow

Janice is joined by the BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year Erin Rae.
 
Our Single of the Week is Hear Me by These Southern Lands, the first single from a collaborative project featuring vocalists and instrumentalists from around Scotland responding to the climate emergency through music – it’s the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist and composer Duncan Sutherland who has a PhD in Renewable Energy, who joins Janice to tell her all about it.
