Comedian Bill Bailey, Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk and Arthur Miller's centenary.

Janice Forsyth marks the centenary of playwright Arthur Miller, plus comedians Bill Bailey and Tim Vine discuss their upcoming comedy tours.

Bill Bailey discusses his latest comedy show 'Limboland' which is on tour from 1 October starting in Dublin and includes Scottish dates in October and November.

Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk talks about his latest novel 'A Strangeness In My Mind'.

Comedian David O'Doherty was due to appear on the show last month but was unable to fulfill his commitment due to unforseen circumstances. He joins Janice to explain his absence and tell her about his new book for children, Danger is Still Everywhere.

Comedian punslinger Tim Vine is back on the road for the first time in four years with a brand new stand-up show. He drops in to have a chat ahead of his Scottish dates next month.

The poet Alec Finlay has trawled through the thousands of public submissions to the Smith Commission, and made a found poem from them, which is being published on Friday 18 Sept to coincide with the first anniversary of the Referendum - he tells us more.

Rapture Theatre company is touring the Arthur Miller plays 'All My Sons' and 'The Last Yankee' to mark the playwright's centenary this year. Janice finds out more about the season from Artistic Director Michael Emans, and Miller biographer and Professor of American Literature at the University of East Anglia, Christopher Bigsby, talks about his personal connection with the great American playwright, which spanned more than 30 years.
