Description

John Rutter on his first purely orchestral album in almost 60 years, which also marks the composer and conductor's 80th birthday.

Novelist Sean Lusk on the extraordinary - and scandalous - life of 18th-century aristocrat Mary Wortley Montagu, which is told in A Woman of Opinion, which won Fiction of the Year at last month's Saltire Awards.

Recently, a number of actors have said they would prefer not to have to work with intimacy coordinators on set. We raise their concerns with Ita O'Brien, an intimacy coordinator who also trains others for the role, and Creative Director of Synchronicity Films, Claire Mundell.

Also, as work gets underway at Edinburgh's first new concert hall in 100 years, we hear why it's needed, and about the challenges of building in a historic city centre site.
