In this episode Elaine chats with actor, writer and co-founder of Pretty Knickers Productions Mhairi McCall.
We chat the inspiration for the show, songwriting, self-producing, not having to mould yourself to a ridiculous unattainable standard and some fabulous nail art.

Mary Queen of Rock
You think you know the story of Mary, Queen of Scots? Think again... The year is 1561. The Scottish Reformation has enforced an outright ban on rock'n'roll. Cue the arrival of Mary Stuart, one of the world's biggest and most iconic musical artists... who happens to be the undisputed Queen of Rock! With the Scottish nobles and her cousin in England against her – can Mary get the country rocking? Or will heads roll?
