With COP26 upon us, should we be hearing from religious voices as much as scientists, politicians and activists? Indian spirituality and The Beatles. And why we love feeling fear.

With COP 26, the UN Climate Change Conference, getting underway in Glasgow, Cathy Macdonald looks at the place and importance of religious voices in the climate change debate, with her guests Maureen Sier, Director of Interfaith Scotland, Alastair McIntosh, Quaker, Author and Independent Scholar, and Dr Hardeep Singh Mudhar from EcoSikh UK.

Reporter Robbie Armstrong finds out about Diwali and the importance of light, community celebrations and the environment at the Hindu Temple of Scotland in Rutherglen.

A new documentary 鈥楾he Beatles and India鈥� explores the fab four鈥檚 1968 trip to Rishikesh. Alastair McIntosh and Scottish Indian musician, Kapil Seshasayee, discuss the impact of the band鈥檚 exploration of Indian spirituality and music on the group personally and on their work.

With the spookiness of Halloween upon us, Alastair McIntosh and Rev Philip Blackledge, Rector of Holy Trinity in Melrose, share some spine-tingling stories and speak about our endless fascination with the thrill of feeling fear.

To mark Black History Month, Scotland-based French journalist, Assa Samake-Roman, tells us about an artist and album that inspires and empowers her as a Black woman, and the role models she hopes her baby son will have in the future.

And if Not Now, When?, an installation at the National Museum of Scotland, is perfectly timed to with coincide with COP26. Artists Philip Pinsky and Karen Lamond tell Cathy about their artistic response to the urgency of the climate crisis, in light of the changes wrought by the global pandemic.
