Presented by Jenni Murray. Italian Vogue on 'Real Beauties' - is Size Zero over? Volunteering during the Olympics. The end of Women's Studies at University? Actor Samantha Spiro.

Presented by Jenni Murray.This month's Italian Vogue may have a predictable enough title, 'Real Beauties'. Instead of the super-thin, androgynous models of the catwalk, it shows three voluptuous women. But will high fashion ever embrace women bigger than a size 6? We hear about the volunteer army currently being recruited for the Olympic Games next year, Samantha Spiro talks about her new role in a production of "Chicken Soup with Barley" at the Royal Court and we look at the decline in popularity of women's studies at universities today.
