Man-made Gods, dealing with online hate and marking Holocaust Memorial Day with remarkable stories from Henry Wuga, a Kinder Transport child and Lily Ebert, a Holocaust survivor.
Most people in the public eye now have a presence online, and with that often comes criticism, abuse and sometimes hatred. Broadcaster and sports journalist Graham Spiers, and Dr Salma Siddique, Clinical Anthropologist and Psychotherapist from the University of St Andrews, join Tony Kearney to discuss the toll this abuse can take and how to build resilience in a negative online world.
To mark Holocaust Memorial Day, Henry Wuga, a Kinder Transport child, recalls what it was like to be on one of the trains leaving Nazi Germany and setting up a new life in Glasgow, where he's been ever since.
Ahead of new census results being released, Tony speaks to Dr Azim Ahmed from the Centre for the Study of Islam in the UK and Dr Salma Siddique about how life has changed over the generations for Britain's Muslim communities.

And as Burns Day approaches Dr Alison Jack, from the University of Edinburgh's School of Divinity, and the University of Glasgow's Professor Gerry Carruthers, explore the Bard鈥檚 relationship with religion and specifically the Kirk.
