Michelle is joined by two reality TV contestants; Meryl Williams, one of the winners of series one of The Traitors, and Beetle Campbell from Squid Game: The Challenge, and reviewer Siobhan Synnot talks about whether reality TV formats are having to get ever more extreme in order to hold the viewer's attention.

New films May December, starring Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman, and psychological thriller Eileen, starring Anne Hathaway, are reviewed by Siobhan Synnot and Anna Smith.

Actor Guy Masterson discusses bringing his one-man version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol to Edinburgh this week.

Fantasy author Christopher Paolini enchanted readers with his debut novel Eragon back in 2002, which he wrote aged 15, and which his family decided to self publish. He became a Guinness World Record holder for the youngest author of a bestselling series, The Inheritance Cycle, and went on to sell 40 million copies. He joins Michelle to talk about his new stand alone novel, Murtagh, ahead of his sell-out event in Glasgow tonight.

And artist John McNaught tells Michelle how art became a form of rehabilitation for him following a severe stroke.
