UK households threw away £13bn worth of food in 2015 that could have been eaten, according to new figures. That boils down to around £470 per household - so how can you stop wasting food? Nick Nairn give us his advice.

The Selfie

BBC Radio Scotland - Brainwaves, Series 4, The Selfie

Pennie Latin explores whether there is more to a selfie than mere self-obsession.

Pennie Latin explores the science of the selfie, discovering that there is far more to them than mere self-obsession.

The selfie - just an exercise in self-obsessed narcissism or potential store for scientific research? A picture can tell far more than 1,000 words. A selfie can define you, it can locate you, it can help analyse air quality, they can track cultures and fashions and during the Rio Olympic Games a simple photograph between to Korean athletes crossed a political divide.

The selfie is the artistic expression du jour and, love them or hate them, they're not going anywhere fast. But the selfie isn't a new thing, portraiture has been seen in art for centuries. So what is our fascination with the representation of our self and why do we want to share it with the world?

In this episode of Brainwaves, Pennie Latin explores the science of the selfie, what they can tell us about ourselves and discovers how your selfies are helping scientists learn more about the world around us.

Retired astronaut Commander Chris Hadfield joins Janice ahead of his visit to Edinburgh.

Commander Chris Hadfield talks to Janice ahead of his visit to Edinburgh, Susan Calman pops into the Glasgow studio, and Janice hears about Picnic at Hanging Rock at the Lyceum.

Chris Hadfield was the first Canadian to walk in space. He's coming to Edinburgh's Usher Hall on the 20th of January, so he's calling Janice live on air this Tuesday to talk about his adventures, his vision of our planet which he's done so much to share with school children, the public and high profile figures alike, and his inspirational stories of his five month stay on the International Space Station. We'll also hear songs from his famous 'Space Sessions' album, recorded after people became enchanted by his guitar strumming and singing live from space, including his tribute to David Bowie, a cover version of Space Oddity.

We'll talk to Director Matthew Lutton and two of the actors from Picnic at Hanging Rock, Matthew's adaptation of the famous 1967 Australian novel by Joan Lindsay which told the tale of school girls and their teacher who vanished into a mountainside during a picnic. It's been described as horrifying and terrifying... we'll give you a wee taste of it and you can decide if you're brave enough to see it on the stage.

Ever wondered what it takes to photograph a band? Or what kind of photos you should have if you're a musician or in a band? We ask Edinburgh-based photographers Jannica Honey and Marc Marnie for their anecdotes, advice and perspectives on music photography and the highs and frustrations that come as part of the territory

Our Tuesday Review team journalist Rebecca Monks and photographer Jannica Honey review A Series of Unfortunate Events on Netflix and the new Flaming Lips album.

Susan Calman talks about touring her one woman comedy show and the paperback release of her memoir Cheer Up Love: Adventures in Depression with the Crab of Hate.
