John Sessions, Val McDermid and Clanlands
Outlander stars Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish chat about their book Clanlands. Grant finds out about Dolly Alderton's debut novel Ghosts and the new Lachlan Goudie exhibition.
Val McDermid discusses See You in 10 Years, a time capsule of writing which will be stored at the National Library before being opened in 2030.
Grant Stott is joined by his fellow Outlander stars Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish from Edinburgh and New Zealand to talk about Clanlands, their road trip memoir which talks about their adventure all around Scotland, and the accompanying TV programme.
Lachland Goudie explains how his young daughter's love of fairy tales inspired his latest exhibition Once Upon A Time which has just opened at The Scottish Gallery.
Grant speaks to journalist, podcaster and columnist Dolly Alderton about her debut novel Ghosts.
We hear about how Vanishing Point and Brite Theatre have met the challenge of the pandemic by reinventing theatre through new show Deliverance. When you buy a ticket for a specific slot, a delivery arrives at your door with basic instructions, asking you to expect a phonecall, from which point you listen to the voice of the caller, do what they say, and are part of the show. The young Leith-based Icelandic theatre-maker who came up with the idea is Kolbrún Björt Sigfúsdóttir.
And in light of the sad news yesterday that John Sessions has died, we revisit the conversation Grant had with him just a few short weeks ago when he was on the show to talk about his new podcast for children, Captain Bobo.
