Kate Storey is a British author who writes books about books.

Her latest novel, The Last Page Café, centres around a book-club founded on the unusual premise, that its members choose their next title based solely on a reading of its last page.

But when a new member joins the group and suggests they each write their own happy-ever-after ending, it leads them to consider the extent to which they are the authors of their own life-stories.

Join Kate and Red as they discuss the joy of book groups and the power of storytelling to explore potential and change lives.

Chris Bridges is a British author and former palliative care nurse with a hidden disability. Both his experience as a healthcare worker, and his diagnosis, have inspired him to write thrillers featuring protagonists with chronic illnesses, turning the trope of passive suffering on its head. His latest novel, The Death Bed, ramps up the suspense to Hitchcockian levels. When nurse Laura arrives at her old friend’s death bed, it’s not out of compassion, it’s out of fear. Sixteen years’ ago, tragedy tore their group of nursing students apart and, knowing that the dying don’t always go quietly, Laura is there to ensure that the truth of what happened remains in the past. Join Chris and Red as they explore the psychological effects of illness on both patients and caregivers; and hear Chris reveal his unique path to publication.

To celebrate the 100th edition of the show Red is joined by an author whose books on landscape, nature, place, people and language have won international acclaim, and helped bring the conversation about man’s relationship with the natural world into our everyday lives.

Regarded by many as the outstanding nature writer of his generation, Robert Macfarlane continues that conversation in his latest book, Is a River Alive? Through its pages he invites us to reframe our view of rivers, to see them as living entities with intrinsic value and rights that should be protected, rather than merely natural resources to be exploited.

Guided by this idea, he journeys from the cloud forests of Ecuador to the polluted waterways of south India, and the wild waters of Quebec’s Mutehekau Shipu, or Magpie River, examining how different cultures and movements are redefining rivers as entities with life, history, and legal rights, and arguing that our fate is bound up with the health and recognition of rivers.

Join Robert and Red as they explore rivers, mountains and the evolving relationship between Man and Nature.

A decade after learning that her son is autistic, writer Julie M. Green received her own diagnosis, shedding light on a lifetime of feeling othered and misunderstood.

In Motherness: A Memoir of Generational Autism, Parenthood, and Radical Acceptance, Julie offers an unflinchingly honest and profoundly compassionate account of raising a neuro-diverse child while processing her own presence "on the spectrum".

With more girls and women being diagnosed, many of them later in life, Julie argues that the face of autism is changing – and not before time.

J Randy Taraborrelli is a best-selling biographer and one of the most highly acclaimed historians of the Kennedys.

His latest book, JFK: Public, Private, Secret, gives a richly detailed portrait of John F. Kennedy that explores beyond the iconic “Camelot” myth, to examine the man in three dimensions: his public life as Senator and President; his private life as husband, son, and brother; and his secret life of inner conflicts, personal flaws and hidden relationships.

Drawing on decades of archival research, oral histories, Secret Service and intelligence files, he paints Kennedy as a great man with great flaws.

Join Randy and Red as they side-step the mythology and conspiracy theories to examine the underlying character of the 35th President of The United States, and who he might have become had he lived to win another term in office.

Amy Spurway is a Canadian writer from Cape Breton, which is also the setting for her debut novel, Crow.

When Stacey Fortune is diagnosed with three unpredictable, and inoperable, brain tumours, she abandons the crumbling glamour of her life in Toronto for her mother’s scruffy trailer in the backwoods. On Cape Breton, Stacy is known as Crow, and everybody believes that her family is cursed.

With the ticking time-bombs in her brain sending her increasingly vivid hallucinations, Crow obstinately sets out to gather the strands of her life together and weave them into some kind of coherent story about who she is and where she came from, before it’s too late.

By turns hilariously irreverent and deeply moving, Crow unapologetically asks challenging questions in a voice that revels in its regionality.

In 1898 Joshua Slocum completed the first single-handed circumnavigation of the globe. His account of the three-year, 46,000-mile adventure, Sailing Alone Around the World, became an instant classic that has remained in print ever since. A decade later, he set out for the Amazon and was lost at sea.

In Captain Solitude: One Surfer's Search for the World's Greatest Sailor, his fellow Nova Scotian, RC Shaw, sets out on a solo journey of his own:

to cycle and surf his way through Bluenose country, to Slocum’s childhood home of Brier Island.

Wild camping, avoiding bears, and with his trusty surfboard strapped to his cargo bike, he chases waves, encounters the ghosts of maritime history, and contemplates the spirit of adventure that drives us to explore beyond the ordinary.

Join Ryan and Red as they discuss high stakes fun, and the enduring power of literature to inspire people to explore their boundaries.
