Janice is joined by 成人快手 arts editor Will Gompertz and author Barnaby Martin discusses Ai Wei Wei. Plus she talks to Mike Daisey, writer of The Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs.
Will Gompertz is the 成人快手's Arts Editor, former director of the Tate, and possibly the world's only art history stand-up comedian. He's at Aye Write hoping to make modern art more accessible.
Barnaby Martin has written a book about the experiences of Chinese artist Ai Wei Wei, famous in the UK for his Sunflower Seeds installation at the Tate, and his subsequent arrest and detention in Beijing.
We meet Mike Daisey, the controversial writer of The Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, a stage play about to tour Scotland exploring the writer's quest to find out just how his iPhone was put together, and the impact it had on factory workers in Shenzhen.
Steve Nallon was the voice of Margaret Thatcher for Spitting Image. He shares his memories of playing the Iron Lady.
Are you hitting the dance floor on Friday night? Peter Lovatt is a ballet dancer turned psychology professor. He explains why it is we love dancing, and shows us some funky moves.
And wouldn't it be nice to go out dancing but still get home at a reasonable hour? Janice speaks to DJs from Glasgow club Hip Replacement, and Edinburgh's Grown Ups about the growing trend for nights aimed at the unashamedly middle aged.
