Michelle hears about Scottish Ballet's A Streetcar Named Desire, American author Jenny Jackson on her novel, Pineapple Street and the director and star of new film Polite Society

Everything But the Girl’s Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn talk about their new album, Fuse, released on Friday.

Scottish Ballet’s hugely popular, award-winning production of A Streetcar Named Desire returns to Scotland for the first time since 2015, Artistic Director Christopher Hampson talks about the production, including the company’s ground-breaking recent work with intimacy co-ordinators.

Author Jenny Jackson talks about her sparkling debut novel, Pineapple Street, which has been described as Succession but from a female perspective, The White Lotus without the palm trees and Edith Wharton but with more tennis and tequila.

Poet and performer Ellen Renton talks about her exhibition inspired by Edwin Morgan's Instamatic Poetry.

And Michelle speaks to the director and star of new film Polite Society, an action comedy about Ria Khan, a bolshy schoolgirl and martial artist-in-training who dreams of becoming a world-renowned stunt woman.
