Barbara Hulanicki talks about celebrating 50 years of fashion label Biba. Plus Esther Freud discusses her book on Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Mr Mac and Me.

Sharon Corr of The Corrs joins Janice to discuss her second album The Same Sun which is out this month.

In referendum week, we take a look at how the Yes/No debate has affected us as a nation and how it's being reflected in the arts; with guests from National Theatre Scotland's Blabbermouth, Ullapool Visual Arts exhibition Over The Counter Culture and play How To Choose from The Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh.

Plus Denis Theriault's new novel, The Peculiar Life of A Lonely Postman follows the life of Bilodo, a postie who secretly steams open envelopes and reads the letters inside. One day he comes across a mysterious letter containing only a single haiku and finds himself avidly caught up in the relationship between a long-distance couple, taking the reader on a twisting, turning tale of uncertainty.

Barbara Hulanicki, the brains behind British fashion label Biba drops by to reflect on 50 years in the fashion business.

And Esther Freud discusses her new book Mr Mac And Me which paints a vivid portrait of a home front community during the First World War, and of her unlikely friendship with one of the most brilliant and misunderstood artists of his generation, Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
