Celebrating Black History Month, questioning the ethics of non-disclosure agreements, reviewing 'My Name is Pauli Murray' and travelling with Ben Fogle.

With the use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) now commonplace in cases of alleged harassment, is it time for a rethink? Do NDAs deliver – or impede – justice? Cathy is joined by lawyer, academic and NDA whistle-blower Julie MacFarlane, who has launched a website called Can’t Buy My Silence.

To mark Black History Month, Simone Byrne, who works in the media, pays homage to Scotland’s former Poet Laureate Jackie Kay, whose works have inspired her, reflecting her own experience of growing up Black and Scottish.

This weekend sees the release of documentary β€œMy Name is Pauli Murray”, about the life of a pioneering non-binary lawyer, priest and activist. Scots writer Jessica Brough and artist Saoirse Amin give their thoughts on this remarkable figure of 20th century American history.

Losing your parents is a difficult experience to go through at any age. But does the impact of such a loss change as we ourselves get older? And has the pandemic made the grieving process harder? Broadcaster Anna Magnusson and counsellor Lindsay Gardner join Cathy to share their experiences.

An ancient clay tablet displaying one of the world’s oldest known religious texts has been returned to Iraq by the United States. The Gilgamesh Dream Tablet was looted during the Gulf War in 1991. Noorah Al-Gailani, Curator of Islamic Civilisations at Glasgow Museums, tells us more.

Ben Fogle is embarking on a very personal pilgrimage for his new ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ series, Scotland’s Sacred Islands. The award-winning broadcaster, writer and adventurer discusses the four-part programme in which he explores community and spirituality from South Uist to Shetland.
