Author and broadcaster Clare Balding on growing up in a horse-obsessed household.

Author and broadcaster Clare Balding talks to Cathy Macdonald about growing up in a horse-obsessed household and bucking the trend regarding her family's attitudes toward women.

As host of the Olympics and Paralympics, broadcaster Clare Balding cemented her status as Britain's unofficial national treasure. Now with the publication of her funny but moving memoirs, 'My Animals and Other Family', she talks to Cathy Macdonald about growing up in a horse-obsessed household and bucking the trend against her family's attitudes toward women. 

We hear about the difficulty of distributing Bibles to Iraq's Christian community and the everyday challenges they face living in a volatile environment. 

Reverend Chris Foxon gives his verdict on the modern-day reworking of the story of Jesus in the current musical tour of 'Jesus Christ Superstar'. 

As a solution to the post-war housing crisis, Glasgow's Overspill project provided a new life for many families. Half a century on we hear how it also inspired one man to conquer his literacy challenges and take up writing. 

And we hear about the difficulties faced by those with adult literacy issues, and how tackling them can really change lives.
