Belinda Carlisle chats about her new music plus the touring production of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory drop by

Nicola chats to Belinda Carlisle about her new music, and some of the cast of the touring production of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory pop into the studio.

80s pop icon Belinda Carlisle joins Nicola to discuss her new single Big Big Love, her first since 1997, written by Cher’s Oscar-winning songwriter Diane Warren.

Forty years after her death, a pioneering biography re-evaluating the life and legacy of musician Karen Carpenter is being published and Nicola will be hearing more from the author Lucy O’Brien.

Edinburgh’s Easter play this year is a large-scale traditional passion play happening in the city’s Princes Street Gardens - the first time the company has done this scale of production for six years. Nicola speaks to the director and the actor playing Mary Magdalene, who is also the narrator.

Nicola will be joined by two of the cast from a new production of the smash hit Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musical.
