Paula McIntyre gives Rab Lennox and Willie Hill ideas for getting really tasty food from the barbeque.
Tony Drennan tells Helen Mark about three rare almanacs from the 1860s written in Ulster-Scots 鈥 they鈥檙e especially interesting on the subject of astronomy.
鈥淒ark Nicht鈥 is the title of Robert Campbell鈥檚 poem, but the theme has nothing to do with the night skies. Rab talks to him about the story behind the poem and how Robert鈥檚 been experimenting with setting his work to music.
