Leila Johnston and Fraser Allen are back to take you behind the scenes at the Library of Mistakes. And in this packed episode we... •Hear from theatre director and actor Liam Rees about his show The Land That Never Was. It's based on the adventures of 19th century Scottish conman Gregor MacGregor, who sold bonds on behalf of a South American country that was a figment of his imagination! •Explore what happened at the Weekend of Mistakes in Hay-on-Wye (including clips from speakers). •Chat to the team behind Leavers' Money Skills, helping Scottish school-leavers to cope with the life of finance ahead of them. •And our Librarian Helen Williams discusses our books on Russia, Putin and Trump!
