For one final texter hottest MacDonald high had us who suggests return to sender by Elvis no shortage of suggestions no shortage of possibilities keep them coming in and we turn to big snow and it's been more than a decade since Pulitzer Prize winning author Elizabeth stright introduced the world to the for miserable brisk straight talking all of Kitteridge a literary creation that caught the attention of readers across the world and then was turned into a great big television cd stunning the extraordinary Frances McDormand Well 2 more novels have since followed anything is possible and my name is Lucy boxen which is about to open on the road we next year starting Laura Linney but it was a straight return to the kind of all of the new the Although again you see the clues in the title Elizabeth welcome to the program thank you so much it's lovely to be great to talk to have been amassed in this because we came didn't didn't want to leave it behind I'm not quite finished it I'm just loving being in that world and with your writing we don't want to rush or way through it so if there are for listening who missed all it tell us about it so one of the things I love advice are She's an older woman yes taught from anything else knows it but where she is this point in her life Well she's she's she's that the book starts out with her about 73 and ends up with her 86 and I think the main thing about all of is that she continues to grow even as she gets older she continues to grow and reflect on herself a little bit more than she did and she's still opens herself to her bizarre little acts of kindness and I thought that that yeah and open to new experiences you know at least without spoilers but you know an unusual ations Yes exactly she gets married again yes one of the things I love about that is the fact that there's a lot of this is the thing but although she's such an extraordinary character she is bit like we would say here Marmite you know you can love it or heat or we're having said she. One speak get to new or it's not straightforward but the new man in her life he laughs a lot when she speaks he he finds out really attractive quality actually what are those people would find off putting Yes I think in many ways Jack an instant is a is a really wonderful husband for all of at this point in her life how would you describe because the 1st. One can I mean one should read it from start to finish and as you just said you know she gets older through it but it is unusual in this to short stories right well it is a collection of short stories but if you can each You can also call each story a chapter so it's a you know it's a novel in chapters like us and it doesn't matter to me if that's called a novel or stories but they are each individual stories is that just a style of writing that just comes easily to you or does it fit the Scott it. Yes I think it fits this character and the original contract was written in the same way and I realized that all of his you know she sort of episodic you know she's she's she's a lot to take for the reader and I thought that when you know the very 1st book I thought well if she shows up on every page that might be a little too much for the reader and for me as well and so then I backed away and showed other people in the town that she lives in because it's so interesting to me how we think we know somebody and we just know a certain part of them and this is true with all of Kittredge's as well you know it's one of the lovely things about to see her through other people's eyes and those perspectives that are already different you're going to do a little bit for I think fairly early on yes yes this is before she has married Jack canister and she's in quite a state so this is the chapter called labor. 2 days earlier all of Kittredge's had delivered a baby she had delivered the baby in the backseat of her car her car had been parked on the front lawn of Marlene Bonnie's house Marlene was having a baby shower for her daughter and all of had not wanted to park behind the other cars lined up on the dirt road she had been afraid that someone might park behind her and she wouldn't be able to get out all of liked to get out so she had parked her car on the front lawn of the house and a good thing she had that foolish girl her name was Ashley and she had bright blond hair she was a friend of Marlene's daughter had gone into labor and Olive knew it before anyone else did they were all sitting around the living room on folding chairs and she had seen Ashley who sat next to her and who was enormously pregnant wearing a red stretch top to accentuate this pregnancy leave the room and all of just knew she'd gotten up and found the girl in the kitchen leaning over the sink saying oh God oh God and all it had said to were you're in labor and the idiot child had said I think I am but I'm not due for another week stupid child and a stupid baby shower Aleph thinking of this is she sat in her own living room looking out over the water could not even now believe what a stupid baby shower that had been she said out loud stupid stupid stupid stupid and then she got up and went into the kitchen and sat down there God she said. Through it thank you very much indeed Elizabeth strong reading from the labor chopped over the new book of all of kid stage all of again thank you for that and I think it gives people who may know have raid your work and insight into your writing style and your reading style actually reflects that it's very straightforward and this is the thing I think so interesting about your writing and I hate to use it is a bit of a cliche but I think for aspiring writers if they were to teach you to work is like a monster class and has to go by say lean prose but absolutely sneaks up behind you and kind of slops in the face. I love the fact that it's full of especially for you know older kind of life ridged mostly did you cease for people you get a little in the mail of bringing up kids and all this things maybe go a slower pace so we have all of those moments that I think people themselves might think in their lives are quite banal so you know going to the supermarket looking at the when I do it the winter sky falling out with family members thinking back over your life that you rise fall asleep all of those things though with your right saying in that sort of lean We just make us pause I think can consider our own lives is do you think about the impact of the writing on people is that part of why you're doing it you know I'm I'm always thinking about the reader at every stage of my writing I am thinking about the reader and I years ago I realized that if I could make up characters I could make up a reader so I have an ideal reader that I write for and the reader is somebody you know who needs what I'm writing and my my responsibility is to deliver them a story that will make them just for a few moments even feel larger feel more comfortable about their lives and will see things differently just for a few minutes even That's amazing and I think is the idea of you. Everybody's a loon ultimately you have to forgive me we've been told that line of code in the 1st I was sent by going on but the idea of connecting making those connections through your writing through cuts right that's right so that people you know people I hope my readers can understand that whatever they have thought and felt has most likely been thought and felt before and that they don't need to feel as alone with with their thoughts and feelings or or guilty about or guilty right and we have a listener who's been in touch she is also a writer based in scope so might have to tell you what she said and Twitter she said everything has stopped I'm glued to the radio I love her book the book just poised to destroy it so there you go I'm so glad you see every do 2 which can be a lovely lovely thing as well. Yes Tell us a little bit about the time because that comes very vividly to life this this tired of being mean but it's so it's a work of fiction Yes Crosby Maine is a fictional town the name Crosby came from my college roommates last name I said Hey can I use your last name for a town and she said sure so Crosby Maine is a fictional town in Maine and it was the 1st you know in the 1st town that all of Kittredge lived in it is still the town that all of Kittredge lives in and it's a small coastal town and she is very very much a part of that town and very much a part of Maine I think of her as a barnacle kind of clinging to the rock of Maine and and yet there are changes that are coming her way as there are all over the world and she she she mostly goes with those changes and learns to accept them and did all of come to you fully formed she did all of showed up very fully formed many of my characters do but boy when all of showed up she really showed up do you remember the moment when ship it yes the very 1st time she showed up I was unloading the dishwasher in my home in Brooklyn New York and I could feel a presence almost right behind me and I could hear her voice inside her head so. Saying it's high time everybody left when I realized oh she's at her son's wedding and she's tired of it so I got that down and then the 2nd time she showed up I never expected her to show up ever again but the 2nd time she showed up I was in a cafe in Norway and just checking my emails and all of a sudden I just saw her in that car nosing her way into the marina and getting out of the car with a cane this time because she was old and older and I realized wow she's back got to get this down so I did that is so exciting and mystical same tell you Miss d.d. a Little bit you know what did you make over and I wonder if you get involved with the t.v. Adaptation because I before having read the 1st book I watched it on a long haul flight and binged which officially it was on there was a transatlantic one and I really loved Frances McDormand and then for was the over of my acquaintance shot to Peter Mullan unexpectedly makes an appearance and this sort of fit what did you make of the ads out station What did you think of Frances McDormand embodying your creation I thought there were all wonderful I thought the every person in that did a wonderful wonderful job and I was really thrilled. Because that must be that must be a strange moment and always a very strange moment. To be a risky one yeah it was risky but I but I also didn't think it was that risky because it was Frances McDormand and Richard Jenkins Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Jenks a padlock to and then with that my name is Lucy Barton again Funnily enough I read that on a plane it's a quick return because I was going off to see the London theater production Oh let me. Did you. Yes I did I absolutely did I thought she's just lovely or you're in the edge of your seat looks it's a one woman show when you're like my goodness the hake to she do it exactly she does oh my word she does it so well and plays the mother you know at the same time and she's amazing incredible So that's certainly been broadly a Legionnaires year and yes January 6th fun talking yeah yeah yeah again that must be just so interesting to see it take on a different art form you're right you're right and it's just a very it's wonderful but it's very weird. So will there be more of all of and I'm interested you know. We get insight into what makes a tick there with just the idea of her offending to the pregnant girl is you know a foolish Good old. You know idiot child this is in a bad mood yet other people. Other people describe all of us a narcissist I don't think she is do you know I don't think she is I don't think she is I think that's what her you know her daughter in law on her son have their issues with her as many people do with their mother in laws and their mothers and you know but I don't think that she's a narcissist I think she's just all of you know it's a fantastic it's been great to speak to Elizabeth thank you so much lovely thank you very much thank you very much indeed Ellis Mistry been talking about the new role of kids called all of again which is well worth the read more in full in the usual place on the afternoon show Web page that's the point of war it's just like everyone else Scotland's climate is changing just fixable in the. We act immediately and aggressively now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions how exactly do animals react to these changes and why i use of Dorry's brings you a series on climate change we have as a nation as a world got to improve the way we live we grow our own fruit and vege and it's got a carbon footprint of 100 meters nature based solutions which can and can really if we get it right be a world leader and so all the power source comes from the turbine up on health so what does that mean for bills for you not listen the sounds of the mornings from 630 on b.b.c. Radio Scotland or subscribe to Scotland I do or is on b.b.c. Signs and my b.b.c. Radio Scotland colleague in power Brian Byrne has been travelling around the country finding out where the money raised in Scotland for children neat has been spent. It's great for me what it was like when you were at your lowest point. I was like hearing voices in my hat and I couldn't concentrate I tell when and when I did try I heard white noise and I couldn't hear what they were saying and I was running around like 2 hours asleep because I was so stressed when in the morning I have to go to school and and but I did go to sleep I would wake up like instantly. I get a feel numb out of time an empty but working on it it kind of over. That's a 15 year old boy that we're going to call Robert he's been helped by Grampian regional quality. And their Me Time Service which is funded by b.b.c. Children and meet provides help to children and young people who are experiencing and discrimination through issues like race disability and sexual orientation Q member how you felt when you fresh went to crack and I was really shy and actors and I didn't and then at our But eventually I can opened up to Polly about what's going on in my life and I got like a lot easier children like Robert it's about being hard Paulie one of the volunteer counselors at Drake we are really really quick as adults to write teenagers off children like Robert need to be heard they need an advocate to be heard at times and it really is about being not just listen to it so by being heard and what way did you anxiety present self I can go outside I can go to school I can do anything now normal person could do. I can even go to the meeting that would have a probably. Now I can and I feel like a normal person again what was Robert light before he went to kinetic he was a self in drink and taken drugs he just changed his seemed to change for. The boy and. This person I didn't know. With. All of us had affected it was just in the worst place anyone could possibly be the most but a terrible time for you absolutely right had effect like I wasn't sleeping I was scared to leave him alone he wasn't going to school I wasn't doing anything it was just it just seem like he was. Just me just to barge in and that's the difference between someone who's suffering and having the most traumatic time in their life where they've come to their lowest ebb they don't want to live anymore they attempt to take their own life they start self harming the lose sleep they don't want to attend school and life has just become so so low and difficult where do they turn and that's where my role is to be alongside them and not push them before they're ready so they want to be heard but if they've been knocked back enough times that they haven't been heard they may take some time to trust I long to take new to become a confident teenager again I don't think I'm for the confident but I think from where I was 2 years ago is a massive massive massive change. And here I am there whenever I visit these children in need projects always come away with a sense of gratitude not just for the folks who run these projects but to everyone who is the native so they can travel on their work our can see is it is amazing and I really feel like she'd saved my son's life because I ducked him for else I would have turned without click I would be on the phone in floods of blood to start on our end like Nathan unfit to d. And I came over to Dublin the day care like because nobody else was less then the school was less than the doctors was an hour does the Turkey have thought it would vent and. I think it gets to a very bleak place for them that life isn't worth living. But if we can turn that around to being where there's a point. Next week or I can go out with my friends I can go to the movies and they actually want to get out of bed where I can cope with school I can have a future I can go to college or can maybe even go to university who knew who knew that these children could do it while I know they can do it I just think I need to be alongside some of them to make sure that they know that it was just you know to the company at some means and how much Paul is helped on this day I just don't think he would be here today if it wasn't for Polly I feel like Polly was someone it took time to. Actually. Got to the bottom of this and on this day I or her or his life.

Mission Mark is the new single from the ghetto who cried wolf singer songwriter Lauren Gomer drummer and women of many parts Audrey t. It the headline gigs in Glasgow Edinburgh then for NASA support gig and of and with the huge team coming up and there in the Glasgow studio with me welcome back with. Thanks for having us not so though you know talent will light quite often we end up going back to the same people for a single week because to date good we're lucky to be able to do this every week of the year and it's good to spotlight on Scottish talent so yes tell me about this song actually 1st of all for talk shows and things because I think it's really unusual it's quite captivating I mean you're drumming does help you do interesting things like dramas you don't really good saying Oh Ok that's it without allies. Just the formula tell us about the genesis of the song. In about a year ago and I met a can of formulate an s. To do invite him and it came from a drum b. And a bass lane which is a lot a deferent to some of the writing process he had a before and the reason we wanted to release it was just we've had that wee bit of experience actually playing. The song's for people and more and more audiences seem to react to it and seem to really enjoy it and it just yet I just feel like about the time we wanted to shoot it with people with ink to tell us more about the the the drumbeat and the process of the Not really I don't know it's weird like when I play the drums I just. I thought it was just yes so it was quite a few ease inspired comments that came from it was a bit of a kind of funk to as a man it's quite a it's definitely quite upbeat it's got like a wee bit of a cacophony and I think I have like we do and we haven't wanted to do in with any for the auction that we do relate to trying something like some of you entertainment so not as much as we both really enjoy. And I think when you've got life. Any kind of music especially Port music it just does cover and it totally does what I mean I just it's just such an gauging title to see that and oh yeah it's just funny I mean I think we can it is a visit on as there's a wee bit of a tongue in cheek to me. It's kind of just it's got a strength and a bit of a sas like the message of the song and yeah the tape was just a little bit cheeky Israel and like you say that just hopefully catchy and I thought and yes you know and it's fun to sing so what's happening with recording at the moment we're playing this is a single of the week so what else is. 2 other singles on like him but luckily you've played than the one of them some of the performers We also that those we back down and 2nd best and the fact we called recorded so we're even towards an album that you and he used to just completely independent doing your own thing and dependent on our own Fang aim at Lakewood he said because we've got the studio together with rent and material together for such a long time so there's there's loads the it and it's just exciting you know that people want to hear more of it and we just get to share it with more people know which is great so yeah we definitely have our I say or in on release an album at some point very good to be great get on with it I know I. Know you're not just trying to do you mean it's a lot of doing nothing to tell us about the gigs because that overwriting. First Home tone headline sure coming out we can trade it blew out Oh absolutely all sides and yeah really it's late for that and I get venues where you. Honest we need this or you had the initial last week so we're excited yes you've been a steadily egg for own kind of audience I suppose we've been really lucky and given some chances to play like and the country so far but yet she always is nice and there's a lovely and then use shame for that and other places and sucking all street had to close for a while post fires. Back and it says a nice 5 you played there before you know nor We've heard great things great things about settings that intimate feel is definitely what we were in even though it's poppy and it's up be definitely chemically in that connection with the audience there's definitely some drama in what we do so that you know and to say and I think will be just great so really looking forward to fill in it with a lovely audience Farley and then you've got the next day such as the 23rd. Break the law and least 4 titles in Inverness on the 30th and then supporting your dean So how did that come about did he invite you did you say please can we support you do you know him it was actually through the venue of the heart but are saying are really support a venue that supported both of us and from previous projects and they'd got in touch and just cannot give us an idea of their program and that was the one that kind of ended up matching really luckily saw yes should be great a really good opportunity for us to be exposed to I think quite a different audience than here I would or wouldn't really saw Yeah we've both had great expediencies play in and as audience members in the venue so actually quite brilliant So tell us a bit about how would you describe in order to do as a girl who cried wolf. Look the same to her Yeah I guess it's like pour music essentially a book wreck you know to and to spend what you to the songs I think they'll try to get our partner to go over to them and because I think it's all driven by the 2 of the drums and the vocals all the really I'll stop talking to me there 6 I just realised I've done over time so the wrong timing.

If you're welcome and you know no questions that after dark question in their eyes Israel is look and behave like practical elements today part of discussions one on one sessions so you don't have to feel awkward about put your hand up at an audience for 200 people you can get out one a one time with people in the office but never staff this but know them one on one I feel like a lot more comfortable and I can not feel as I'm sure there is never supposed to such occasions which may otherwise be a bit overwhelming so he'll only were you doing the festival this year at the conference or the event I'm thrilled to be on the 1st time knowing 200 people Ok prepare for that and I know o'clock on Thursday morning the panels cold Alou opportunities and music you're looking for yes so. Me on that single number I will I'll set it to right human everything yet so that's happening on Thursday and I'm thrilled to have an interest in it before so. I'll be here with my swim Scottish women inventing music which advocates for gender equality in the music industry school and. So we're hoping that we can spread the word spread good news when we have good news to report and similarly being one of the movers and shakers behind swim I imagine you think events like this in organizations like this are actually important because it can be a lonely challenging job in any of the jobs in the music business for it's just for individuals for sure I mean swim is all about collaboration and creativity and sharing sharing good news and finding ways to deal with difficult situations as well we have. We're doing our very best to make it as accessible as possible. For example the membership will be pegged 5 paintings pair year this is for swim for swim as long as I'm involved in it. It's quite a long time yet. The idea is that it's for anybody that we don't want money to be a barrier. When it comes to disability we've got people checking our website and making sure that everything's. Up to date and up to speed as it should be so these are all really important things for swim at the moment actually in rehearsals just no chance for another play pine a plane show which opens on Monday so there's a lot going on as a lot going on and it's good to get away and I'm just wondering for your tone but would you do you actually see 35th anniversary of the artist still I still. Think it is a long Gerrity of your career but also how things have changed in 3 and a half decades it was not a letter and I will name days not at all we were just talking to. Myself people who entered into the music industry there wasn't a lot of support in fact there was there was no support Paul help me when I did you know who discovered I just discovered stuff find some 35 years of being at the end of a phone because certainly nothing like recently you know nothing for young people to go to to tell them about how the industry works on the definite aspects of just using the working creativity of these things it just wasn't there so those who were interest in music a lot of friends went to art school and so yeah it's weird Bines content really of course that node industries is so changed and so many people can have access to me can records on concerts get involved in numerous ways and of course the music industry has changed beyond all recognition I mean and Simon Napier Belcher keynote speaker so he's somebody who's seen change over the decades or just thank you for no it's easier to meet you sick I hate to get. People under so much different advice you can you can get I mean is there anything you wish you'd known back then that you know. There's an awful lot actually said as well we went to meet so many people you know to represent us as a manager but that didn't happen but yeah it's just changed so much bigger we shall hardly And I used technology a lot think technology we have nobody's assume poting But you see that's an enabler when the don't say this is an awful music of the. It turned audience but was trying to kinda develop one's or own creativity and so forth and their work was a lot of different artists No not really kinda like collaborative work Yeah and you mentioned early yourself you know sometimes it can be a long list musician you say Home Truths who are were as you're using and you're by yourself so that can working with other people is really important to share ideas and just you know what people do and which gets a lot I say Yeah I think it's about the friendly vibe of resume and let's talk a bit more about some of the sessions but there's also the performances the music side of things too later on in the day so tell us who's going to be performing Yes your things that she reaction opened up and apply play I'm sorry platforms that we had we had over 100 submissions from bands from other than the country every single genre you can imagine 7 of them and then the pain that panel judges who selected eg reeling his American singer songwriter from Glasgow we also had a billy goat weaves and jaw her hip hop tool from Edinburgh I'm really really excited to see them as though of course scarlet Rondo has been on your short she's an amazing session and younger Banks's.

Some of the feedback we had from last year was feedback important was that we didn't have enough quote off our spirit present Asian because who can speak better than them from experience and obviously there are some so so we've tried to you know lessen to the comments that people of because they've tried they want to make an event as well as we do so so I take it on board and then our best to get as many artists and as many stations actually as possible and actually you know people enjoy and you know we can talk the same way of all and understanding of you know you know so for more than the sales manager story you know these artists are no these you may be your sales marketing you're saying you know your scale or call it please to spend that thing with something Hillary you know thing of you know you don't just do one thing you want to project you want to want to see it or you know the right wrist will still be right you're right center searches neither of those things and then actually being like an admin passionate the helm of of swim as well skills on learning yeah that's the thing you never stop learning it's not a case of here the panelists really know everything presumably you guys are going to get something of an event like this of course you just as you see the industry is constantly changing so we.
