Let’s Inherit the Earth is Morna Pearson’s climate change comedy… with songs.

We hear the bizarre and wonderful story of the original Madame Tussaud from Edward Carey, who’s written an historical novel about her called Little.

It’s National Libraries week so all week on the show we shall be celebrating libraries with archive clips from Â鶹Éç Radio Scotland interviews with celebrities who love libraries.

Jenny Colgan and Val McDermid both saw their local libraries as something of a lifeline when they were young.
