BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, Betty Boo, Somewhere Boy star Lewis Gribben, and actor James McArdle

Betty Boo's new album and Lewis Gribben, star of new Channel 4 drama Somewhere Boy.

Betty Boo has a new album, and Lewis Gribben stars in Channel 4's thrilling drama Somewhere Boy. Plus actor James McArdle, the ultimate hip hop hoax and podcast The Witch Farm.

Betty Boo has brought out her first new album in three decades. She catches up with Nicola about returning to the studio, finding her voice again, and epic collaborations. 

James McCardle has starred in Ammonite, Mary Queen of Scots and earned himself an Olivier Award nomination for his role in Angels of America in the West End, later transferring to Broadway. Paul English finds out all you need to know about him in Getting to Know You.

The Witch Farm is a new podcast on BBC Sounds from Danny Robins, creator of the much-loved The Battersea Poltergeist series. Could he have found the most haunted house in Britain? Nicola finds out more. 

Gavin Bain is one half of the hip hop hoax that shocked fans in the US, and Scotland alike. He talks about how duo Silibil N’ Brains had the music industry fooled. 

New Channel 4 drama Somewhere Boy hits our screens on Sunday. Lewis Gribben stars in the tale of a boy who is kept locked away in his home for 18 years by his dad, to keep him safe from the 'monsters' outside. He joins Nicola.
