We hear from Dougie and Jamie MacLean, the Tannahill Weavers, the Battlefield Band, Lúnasa, Alasdair Fraser with Tony McManus, Iain MacInnes, Boys of the Lough, Banshee in the Kitchen, some fine poetry from Scottish bard Hugh MacDiarmid and Margaret Stewart with Allan McDonald.

Zombies have been quite the phenomenon for decades. Find out why people are so fascinated with these ghoulish walking corpses and how their origin goes back to Creole traditions and religious customs brought to Haiti by enslaved people from West Africa. Maria Contreras Tebutt from the Bike Campaign tells us about the zombie apocalypse that rolls into Davis over Halloween weekend — the Zombie Bike Parade. Then travel to Haiti, the land of the mountains and home to the legend of the zombie, vodou, rhinoceros iguana, and djon-djon.
