Comedian and actor Rosie O'Donnell sold everything she owned and moved to Ireland with her youngest child.

Now, 12 months on, she's put her musings on moving & motherhood into her new stand up show 'Common Knowledge' which she is bringing to Belfast later this month.

In an in depth, and deeply personal conversation, she tells Anna about returning to her Irish roots in the aftermath of her mother's death, memories of childhood holidays in Donegal, why she packed her bags and moved to the other side of the Atlantic and whether she has quit the US for good.

Also on the programme, Belfast born prima Ballerina Melissa Hamilton and broadcaster Tina Campbell, a lifelong ballet fan, talk about their new BBC documentary which follows Melissa's incredible journey to principal dancer in the Royal Ballet.

Plus Anna invites listeners to pick classic tracks for the Songbook, the perfect soundtrack to your Sunday.
