Liz Barclay makes her selection from the past seven days of BBC Radio.

Barack Obama and Billy Bragg, Doc Pascowitz, the 91 year old father of surfing in Israel, and John Howard Griffin the white journalist who lived as a black man in America's deep south, poet and former soldier Theo Snell and astronaut Buzz Aldrin - just some of the voices in this week's impressive line-up of people with amazing stories to tell about the power of poetry, protest, art and sport. Yet it's a programme that would have Lord Reith calling for the transmitters to be shut down! What on earth could he object to? - Find out with Liz Barclay on Pick of the Week.
