While tens of thousands of Syrian refugees are pouring over the borders into neighbouring countries, we talk to some of those trying to return to Syria to escape harsh conditions at the Zaatari camp in Jordan. We hear what teenagers at the Devas Youth Club in South London think about the impact song lyrics might have on relationships and attitudes. We discuss the issue with feminist Joan Smith and Music Psychologist Adrian North of Curtin University in Australia. Power Lister, Kath Mainland, Chief Executive of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society tells us what it's like running the largest art festival in the world. And as Nell Dunn's 1960's classics, 'Up the Junction' and 'Poor Cow' are republished we speak to her and the author Margaret Drabble about the impact of these books. Show less
