The best of the previous seven days of BBC Radio, chosen by Shari Vahl.

Shari Vahl's Pick of the Week

This week we hear the fascinating and appalling result of total memory loss and how one man's suffering benefitted science. The agonies faced by Central American migrants travelling on a train known for good reason as... the Beast. The humorous bits of heart failure... and why a wee wee could help you say oui...Amongst purring frogs, talking dogs, and lessons on conversing with aliens - we hear a brand new use for duct tape and what you'll need if you want to push a potato out of a cow...
