Sheila McClennon makes her selection from the past seven days of BBC Radio

This week, why It Started with a Sniff - not a Kiss, as we discover the history of the kiss. Shakespeare gives us a little touch of Harry in the night and a lovesick Malvolio gets his comeuppance for being a party pooper. A L Kennedy debunks the myth that madness produces great art whilst Evelyn Glennie has music that did drive some poor souls mad with the ghostly chimes of the Glass Armonica

How a dance company is letting visually impaired fans get closer than ever to help them understand the beauty of the ballet.

And the wonderful Mr Fan, barber and horse rider whose ever cheerful exterior hides a tale of true courage.
