The rise of knitting, old-fashioned sweet shops, and one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century.
Clare English examines the changing face of the UK high street. Automated self-checkouts on one hand, the rise in old-fashioned sweetie and grocery shops on the other. Polar opposites. What do we prefer, and what does that say about us?
Edinburgh's Dean Gallery are celebrating the work of August Sander, one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. We hear more about the man and his work.
Wrestling, theatre and short films sounds like an odd combination for a stage play. Rob Drummond tells us about this unusual performance at Glasgow's Arches.
Plus, knitting. What makes it such an enjoyable pastime? And what role has technology played in the ease of sharing patterns and ideas? Fresh from her tour of America, we'll be speaking to Ysolda Teague, the Edinburgh-based designer who's become an international knitting sensation.
Produced by Rich Preston.
