BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, with Cathy Macdonald

Why we fear rejection; our fascination with dreams;  humans vulnerability to addictions.

The environmental and ethical impact of our diets; how Jambo! Radio is more than just a music and speech station; another family tale as part of 100 Years of Scottish Stories.

Rejection, it hurts. And many of us will do anything to avoid it. Is it possible to build resilience against it or is avoidance our best strategy? Cathy is joined by Angela Trainer, Psychotherapist and Director of the Harvest Clinic in Glasgow; and former Writer in Resident at the University of Edinburgh, and published author, Tracey S Rosenberg.

We hear another of your family tales as part of 100 Years of Scottish Stories. This week BBC Radio Scotland listener Rob Robinson talks about his grandfather.

Reporter Kathleen Carragher meets Michael MacDonald, who repairs and maintains pipe organs in dozens of churches and cathedrals across Scotland.  

With the highly anticipated release of a new TV adaptation of The Sandman, a look at this much loved original comic and the significance of dreams in its narrative, with fan Luke Devlin. 

Drug death statistics were in the news last week and Scotland still has the highest in Europe. What are the reasons behind our addictions and why do they take such a hold? With Luke Devlin, Director of the Centre for Human Ecology; psychotherapist Angela Trainer; and Aidan Martin, a writer and recovering addict. 

A radio station for the African and Caribbean communities in Scotland is not just entertaining us but also helping youngsters get a better start in life. George Tah the founder of Jambo! Radio tells Cathy about their work.  

Climate-friendly diets are becoming more popular, with the awareness of the environmental and ethical impact our food choices have.
