Hear Rebecca chat to Max Scratchmann from 'Edinburgh in the Shadows', discussing madness in history and why he and Alec Beattie love to tell a good bloodcurdling story.

Rebecca grabbed a quick interview with Tez Ilyas just after his show Made in Britain. Hear more about her first day at the Fringe at http://posers.org.uk/2016/08/23/fringe_day1/.

Rebecca's keeping mind and body active in Edinburgh for this year's Festival Fringe. She is one of the writers for 'The Sick of the Fringe', a Wellcome Trust project looking at the medical, psychological and mental health themes and issues behind some of the performances. Join her for a podcast on day one's shows - and crucially how many steps she did as she got around them.

In this voxpod - a podcast edited from live recordings - Rebecca visits the ArtScience Museum, Singapore, to see the Future World exhibition. She finds that her children always know what's going on much better than she does - from the exhibition theme to the way the games and experiences work. However, they all have an excellent time in this clever digital playground.

She came away with a head full of smiles, songs and scandal, so join her to find out more and hear from director David Kettle, actor Stewart Briggs (Dodgson) and writer Jane Bramwell about the production.
