Janice Forsyth talks to Grammy Award-winning singer Foxes, hears about a new radio version of The Exorcist, chats to novelist Ajay Close and previews the Brit Awards.
In today's programme we preview the Brit Awards - the songs, the ceremony, and the controversies - with Nicola Meighan and Billy Sloan.
The Exorcist will be possessing a radio near you on Thursday. Janice talks to producer Gaynor MacFarlane about turning such an iconic title into radio drama and we explore the enduring appeal of the story with horror expert Christopher Hand and Philip Blackledge.
As Ballet West launch a campaign to build a dance studio in Taynuilt we speak to dancer Natasha Watson, Ballet West's Gillian Barton and dance critic Kelly Apter about dance in the Highlands.
Louisa Rose Allen is better known by her stage name, Foxes. She'll tell us about winning an unexpected Grammy, working with producer Zedd for her breakthrough single, and where that vulpine name came from. (Vulpine, eh? Get us!)
Ajay Close joins us to talk about the miners' strike, misogyny and merchant banking, all of which feature in her latest novel, Trust.
