Playwright and psychotherapist Francisca Morton tells us about Torn- her story of lost love- told using puppetry, theatre, installations and an onstage Foley artist.
Hugh Aldersey-Williams talks about his hero, Sir Thomas Browne, the 17th C thinker who has influenced the way we live now, whether we realise it or not.
And we do some detective work with Maria Fusco, a writer who is planning to create a performance and radio work inside one of Scotland's most majestic mountains, Ben Cruachan, by Loch Awe on the West Coast, to mark the 50th anniversary of the power station which was opened by the Queen in 1965 and still feeds into the national grid today. Tune in hear how she needs your help.
