ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ hit sitcom Ghosts, American poet Shane McCrae, artistic director of The Tron Theatre Andy Arnold and Single of the Week

Award winning American poet Shane McCrae chats to Janice about his memoir which tells of being kidnapped from his black father and raised by his white supremacist grandparents.

Artistic Director of Tron Theatre, Andy Arnold reflects on the past 16 years being at the helm of the Glasgow Theatre and why now is the right time to move on.

We’ll be discussing the news that the Scottish government has re-imposed a Β£6.6m budget cut on arts body Creative Scotland, and speak to those who are impacted.

Ghosts returns to ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ One this Autumn and director Simon Hynd and co-creator and cast member Laurence Rickard who plays Robin the Caveman tell Janice about the fifth and final series.

And as it’s Monday our new Single of the Week will get its first spin on the show.
