On the programme this week, Zara Janjua asks what does prayer mean when it feels like no one鈥檚 listening? Minister and author Margaret Somerville joins us to explore that very question, drawing from her new book When Prayer Doesn鈥檛 Work, which considers what faith looks like in the face of silence and doubt.

Multi-award-winning poet and broadcaster Len Pennie shares her latest collection Poyums Annaw - a bold exploration of misogyny, justice, and the beauty of the Scots language.

Pop star Pixie Lott joins as she reflects on faith, motherhood, and creative renewal, as well as the inspiration behind her latest single Coming of Age.

And in our Faith Forum hour, Zara is joined by Chair of Edinburgh Interfaith Association鈥痑nd Emeritus Professor Joe Goldblatt, Theologian Dr Eve Poole, and Fr Philip Blackledge, Rector of the Holy Trinity, Melrose.

After Donald Trump鈥檚 recent state visit - full of royal salutes and military pageantry, what do the acts of ritual and ceremony say about who we are and what we hold sacred?

As MSPs vote to abolish the 鈥淣ot Proven鈥� verdict in Scots law, can uncertainty offer space for growth and might ambiguity be a spiritual tool, not a societal failing?

And finally, following a controversial monologue last week, US talk show host Jimmy Kimmel faced public backlash and cancellation. We explore the limits of free speech, the rise of public outrage, and whether there鈥檚 still room for grace in our cultural conversations.
