Philip Dodd talks to Egyptian web activist Wael Ghonim.

Philip Dodd talks to Egyptian web activist Wael Ghonim about his memoir, and discusses a new Tate Britain exhibition which explores the role of migration in British art.

Philip Dodd is joined by art critic Sarah Kent and Professor Roey Sweet to review and discuss a new exhibition at Tate Britain which explores how British art has been shaped by waves of migration; not only the physical movement of artists between countries, but the circulation of ideas.

Web activist Wael Ghonim discusses how his Facebook postings came to play a major role in the recent uprising in Egypt. After using online posts to successfully organise several flash mob protests, Ghonim was eventually arrested. He reflects on the part new media has played in the events of the Arab Spring and whether - as Mubarak's trial continues - his revolutionary aims have been achieved.

Susannah Clapp has a first night review of The National Theatre's new production of eighteenth century comedy She Stoops to Conquer.

And Cullen Murphy, editor at large of Vanity Fair Magazine, talks about his new book God's Jury, in which he suggests that the Inquisition - the catholic body which existed in Europe for over 700 years - is not a medieval historical episode, but marks the beginnings of modern Western society.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
