Listener Week - where all the topics are chosen by you

When a child is sexually abused, what impact does the ordeal have on their parents? We received an email from a listener who is struggling to talk to her daughter after she revealed she had been abused by a family friend. Chief Psychologist for the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse Rebekah Eglinton and CEO of The Survivors Trust Fay Maxted join Jenni to offer some advice.

Over the past six months, the gender pay gap has made national news and headlines - but what about the pay gap between white and BAME employees? It's a subject matter that one listener wanted the programme to cover. Employment lawyer Adele Edwin-Lamerton and ITN journalist Natalie Morris join Jenni.

As our last legacy book of Listener Week, Jenni chats about Marie Kondo's The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up with listener Kaz McComb, whose life and self-esteem have been changed by Kondo's best-selling tips. She's joined by Ellen Scott, Lifestyle Editor at the Metro.

Listener Emily wanted us to talk about long distance relationships. How do couples survive living apart? Are there any benefits? Emily currently lives in the UK and her partner lives in Germany - but he could soon be moving back to Vietnam. How will the time difference change things? What happens when you finally get to live in the same location? Bryony Leah is a writer and her boyfriend lives in the US and Alice is also a writer and her boyfriend has just moved back to the UK from Stockholm.
