with Cathy MacDonald

Available for 27 days

Comedian and actor Joe Pasquale joins Cathy to share his Spiritual Life, reflecting on nearly 40 years in showbusiness, his Italian Catholic upbringing, facing his fears and taking on his first ever Edinburgh Fringe at the age of 65. Twice Grammy-nominated American singer-songwriter Michelle Shocked shares the gospel music that shaped her life, career and spiritual journey. Cathy also meets Anne Kenny, a finalist in the BBC's Make a Difference Awards, whose volunteering work in Montrose has helped transform her local community. With the Edinburgh Fringe in full swing, critics Arusa Qureshi and Gareth K Vile pick out some of the festival's most thought-provoking shows exploring faith, ethics and the human condition. Cathy's Faith Forum panel are Dr Eve Poole, Talat Yaqoob and Ravi Ladva. They debate the stories making headlines this week, including, where should the line be drawn between public interest and personal privacy in the case of celebrities such as Ariana Grande? Plus, should any subject be off limits for performers, as Amanda Knox's controversial Fringe show reignites debate about artistic freedom, and is it ever too late to learn a new skill or pursue a lifelong ambition, inspired by the BBC series The NaNaz: Age Against the Machine.
