Presented by Jane Garvey.
Including a visit to the newly reopened Florence Nightingale Museum to cast new light on the lady with the lamp. Following a week of high level political compromise, former British Ambassador to the US Sir Christopher Meyer discusses what it takes to be a good negotiator. We discover the secret life of whales, and look at why Glee clubs are taking off in schools around Britain. There's debate over whether it can ever be acceptable to smack your child. And who exactly was Maid Marian - where did she originate and how has she changed in line with women's emancipation? Plus, pets - do they bring families together or cause more trouble than they're worth?

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
