Kaye asks whether you sympathise with the EU countries challenging Scotland's minimum alcohol pricing. And did the Paralympics made lasting changes for people with disabilities?
Five European wine producing nations are lodging opposition to Scotland's plans for minimum pricing, saying it will be a disaster for them. Kaye asks if they have a case or is this still the best way for Scotland to tackle our alcohol problems?
This weekend sees a three day anniversary event celebrating the Olympic successes of Team GB, including a full day of action showing casing the Paralympic champions of London 2012. But a year on from the Games has anything changed for people living with disabilities around Scotland? Organisers said last summer the Paralympics had "seismic effect in shifting public attitudes" and that they had changed public perceptions towards disability forever - but have you noticed any differences? Have the Paralympics made life better for people with disabilities?
And Kaye speaks to the small publisher in Dingwall who is in the running for this year's prestigious Man Booker literary prize. For the second time in three years Robert Davidson of Sandstone Press has printed a book that's made the list. And up until last month he'd run the publishing firm from a flat in the Highland town. Kaye will also hear from the author who has got him there, Eve Harris, with her novel the marrying of Chani Kaufman (tbc) who says she is over the moon.
