Following the controversy over Madonna's use of guns on her tour, Clare English and guests ask what we want modern popstars to be - agitators, boundary pushers or good role models.

Is Madonna setting a bad example by using fake guns on her latest tour? The star explains her use of violent imagery in a manifesto, but is it her moral responsibility to challenge us or is it to be a good example? Clare talks to Glasgow rapper MC Soom T, and arts reviewer & Madonna fan Chitra Ramaswamy, to find out what we want our modern pop artists to be...agitators, boundary pushers or good role models.

Fancy a night at the museum? The Natural History Museum who offer kids the chance to bed down under the skeletons of prehistoric creatures, are now offering Dino Snores for Grown Ups. We find out what's on offer in a museum when all the lights go out...and you can find out for yourself when the National Museum of Scotland opens it doors after hours.

And artist Stephen Hurrel's imagination gets carried away with the help of some scientists, marine mammals, and a lighthouse. He shares his experience of the 'Sublime' residency in Cromarty, working alongside fellow artist Mark Lyken.
