Including celebrity photographer Mary McCartney and hypnotic gastric bands - do they reallly work? Plus how was Edgar Allan Poe influenced by the women in his life?

Presented by Jenni Murray. Mary McCartney has been taking celebrity photographs for almost twenty years. With a new book and two exhibitions of her work currently showing in London, she talks to Jenni about using her camera as a diary. Hypnotic gastric bands are a new phenomena, so can they work? The psychotherapist Susie Orbach and hypnotherapist Lou Palmer discuss the issues. Denise Mina's documentary 'Edgar Allan Poe: Love, Death and Women' is on BBC 4 tonight. So what influence did Poe's mother, wife and female companions have on his life? And the Spending Review, what impact will it have on women?

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