Writer Alan Bissett on positive male role models, and the Hebridean Baker, Coinneach MacLeod, on his life and career.
If you鈥檙e a late-night reveller in one of Scotland鈥檚 town centres, you might have seen street pastors at work 鈥 people from across Christian denominations who work to support the safety of local communities. A new initiative in the West of Scotland has seen this work expanded to include the rail network. Chris Jewell is a Rail pastor and Chief Executive of Ascension Trust Scotland. He joins Tony to give an insight into what a rail pastor does.
This Tuesday is International Men鈥檚 Day 鈥 highlighting issues affecting men and boys, as well as an opportunity to reflect on positive masculinity and what that looks like. This year鈥檚 theme is positive role models. Author, playwright and performer Alan Bissett explore this year鈥檚 theme with Tony and talks about who his role models are.
Coinneach MacLeod, better known as The Hebridean Baker, is one of the best-selling Scottish cookbook authors of the past few years. He shares his Spiritual Life - growing up on the Isle of Lewis, his faith and his fame.
Delving into recent news stories and looking at them through a more ethical lens, Tony is joined by Talat Yaqoob, social researcher and equalities campaigner; environmental scientist and campaigner Laura Young; and Rev Philip Blackledge of the Scottish Episcopal Church of Holy Trinity in Melrose. They鈥檒l be talking about COP29, the fallout of Archbishop Justin Welby鈥檚 resignation, and what happens when you strike up conversations with people you don鈥檛 know on a park bench.
