The challenges facing theatres, plus forensic anthropologist Professor Dame Sue Black and author Maggie Shipstead

Janice looks at the challenges facing theatres across the country as they try to make preparations for re-opening, with physical distancing restrictions still in place.

Today Janice looks at the challenges facing theatres across the country as they try to make preparations for re-opening, with physical distancing restrictions still in place.

World-renowned forensic anthropologist Professor Dame Sue Black and celebrated Scottish artist Ken Currie will be talking about Ken鈥檚 portrait of Sue that is being shown for the first time at the National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh- and how it all sprang from a conversation they had when they were both guests on a 大象传媒 Radio programme.

American author Maggie Shipstead is live from LA as she talks about her brand new novel, Great Circle, which spans Prohibition-era Montana, the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, New Zealand, wartime London, and modern-day Los Angeles to tell the story of a daredevil female aviator鈥檚 doomed attempt to fly a complete circle around the world.

We鈥檒l have another Upload update featuring the work listeners have sent in to us- and Janice will be announcing a brand new single of the week!
