What can be the connection between a scotch whisky distillery and the fact that the island's bees have all left? Can there ever be a happy ending?

High Spirits is an angelic fantasy tale set on a remote Scottish island. The lambs are not being born, the bees have left, apparently forever and spring has not arrived. Everything is out of kilter and only Breagh, it seems, can put it right. High Spirits is about finding friendship and facing fear. "You're a child of the air. Your job is to cross the barriers that separate the different elements in this world. Your job is telling stories, and bringing back harmony." High Spirits is part of An Ayrshire Trilogy, three audio dramas which celebrate our rich history and culture.

Alex has her own secret life. And not all of it is for sharing with her parents. But, as it turns out, everyone has their own secrets and when Alex's mum needs a favour, she finds she can't refuse - no matter where that takes her.

An original audio drama, The Escort is a whydunnit, a murder mystery — or is it?

How many years does it take to feel you really belong? For Francine, living on the Isle of Donan, nothing will ever be the same now that her reason for being here is gone. But Francine is a survivor. Outwardly conventional she may be, but like a true Frenchwoman, she's up for a little rebellion when the opportunity arises.

This is a dark tale, based on the trial of a medieval super-hero turned serial killer.

It's 1429: France and England have been at war for a hundred years. England has the upper hand, threatening the sovereignty of the Dauphin, heir to the French throne. Out of Lorraine comes a young countrywoman, Joan of Arc, who attacks an English stronghold in preparation for the breaking of the Siege of Orleans. Gilles de Rais, the bravest of her captains, accuses her of being rash and unprepared for battle.

Collaboration is set in 1940s Paris. Following the Liberation of France, the French singer, Edith Piaf, was investigated for charges of collaborating with the Nazi régime during the Occupation. Piaf was a performer, a survivor and a pragmatist. She was a woman who lived by her own talents and values: for her, music stood beyond politics. Edith herself said: 'Ne pas chanter, c'est mourir' ('Not to sing is to die').

Collaboration explores the story through the relationships of three women: Edith herself and two of her closest associates, Simone Berteaut and Andrée Bigard. It examines themes of truth and interpretation, loyalty and lies,

It also raises serious questions about truth and lies, collaboration and resistance: by failing to resist governments, how far can we be said to be colluding with their values and actions?
