It’s A Question Of Balance with Ruth Copland
Society & Culture
It's A Question Of Balance ® radio show balances the intellectual with the creative, exploring whether we have more in common than divides us through thought-provoking conversations - out and about with people on the street on different topics, and in the studio with inspiring guests from the arts. Balance is not a compromise. Balance is truth distilled from many places creating cohesive understanding.

Arts Interview: In-Depth Conversation with Cory Doctorow and John Scalzi
Ruth Copland’s special guests from the arts are award-winning science fiction authors Cory Doctorow and John Scalzi. Both Cory and John are hugely popular and prolific writers of fiction and also non-fiction, with their novels being translated into multiple languages. We discuss why science fiction is so popular, how they started writing, what inspired their latest novels, whether they think art can be healing, and what their vision for the future looks like.
