Mark Ronson, Curtis Sittenfeld, and the current condition of the film industry

American author Curtis Sittenfeld on her new novel Rodham, based on the life of Hillary Clinton, plus Grammy and Oscar-winning musician Mark Ronson.

American author Curtis Sittenfeld (Prep, Eligible, Sisterland, American Wife) talks about her new novel Rodham, based on the path Hillary Clinton’s life might have taken, had she not married Bill.

Grammy and Oscar-winning musician and DJ Mark Ronson talks about his latest album in another pick from our glittering archive.

In the month the Edinburgh International Film Festival would have happened we take a look at the challenges currently facing the film industry. Film critics and writer for Sunday Times Scotland Siobhan Synnot joins Janice.

In the first of many check-ins with arts venues around the country Janice will be linking up with arts centre An Lanntair in Stornoway and speaking to Chief Executive Elly Fletcher and freelance artist Alice Macmillan as they work to stay connected to their audience during this time.

Debut author Ellie McNicoll talks about A Kind of Spark, which was inspired by the fact that although she read 200 children’s books for her Masters in children’s literature, she never saw her younger self portrayed there. She took matters into her own hands!

And we will be celebrating Volunteer’s Week in our regular Make a Difference slot!
