Ricky Ross is joined by Lindsay Paterson and Rosa Murray of the University of Edinburgh, Spencer Fildes of the Scottish Secular Society and Magnus Linklater from the Times.

Like first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, Ricky Ross & his guests put education at the top of the agenda. Lindsay Paterson, Professor of Education Policy at the University of Edinburgh; Spencer Fildes, Chair of the Scottish Secular Society; Magnus Linklater, columnist for The Times; and Rosa Murray, Development Officer in Education, Teaching and Leadership at the University of Edinburgh, explore the purpose of education, the kind of citizens we want schools to produce, and the contentious issue of whether schools should be divided along lines of religion, or private versus state.

From the world of banking to creating the most successful parenting website in the country, it's not surprising that politicians and business leaders want to keep Justine Roberts, co-founder of the phenomenally successful Mumsnet, on side. She speaks to Ricky about her life, and her career, and she chooses a couple of her favourite music tracks.

Can a film festival inspire people to campaign on social issues? Tamara Van Strijthem, Executive Producer of Take One Action, and Liz Murray, Scottish Campaigns Director of Global Justice Now, think so - that is the aim of 'Take One Action'. They tell us more.
