Richard meets Stephen Grosz, who after practising as a psychoanalyst for over 25 years, put his experiences and findings about human behaviour in a book. The Examined Life; How We Lose and Find Ourselves, is a collection of real life stories, straight from his consulting room.

Is it religion or the misinterpretation of it that's to blame for the blood that's shed in the name of one's God? The writer A.L. Kennedy and Mona Siddiqui, Professor of Islamic and Interreligious Studies, at New College, University of Edinburgh, unpack this fascinating area.

They'll also be looking at the idea of giving a prisoner reading material as part of their jail sentence, as one US judge recently did. What should we be reading if we want to change the way people think and act?

And we hear the final part of holocaust survivor Zdenka Fantolva's harrowing and incredibly moving story.

Plus there'll be the usual helping of great music. Show less
