In Leugh Mi, Anna Macleod is in conversation with two guests in each episode about their favourite books, and also finds out more about their lives.

In this episode, Alasdair MacCalum talks about his upbringing in Stepps, near Glasgow, and his work as a Gaelic development officer in the Scottish Parliament. His reading, however, takes us to different worlds and dimensions, as he talks about his passion for science fiction.

Sarah MacEachen is from South Uist, where she works translating children's books into Gaelic. When not doing that, her own choice of books takes us from conflict in prehistoric times to a tale of murder on the Isle of Lewis.

In addition to discussing their favourite books, each guest has chosen a book for the other to read, and we'll find out in the programme whether they enjoyed it - or not!
