Women's cricket, a sex education wish-list, and when grandparents have favourites.

Kate Taylor on women's and girls' cricket, a sex education wish-list, when grandparents have favourites, and Natasha Solomons' The Gallery of Vanished Husbands. With Jenni Murray.

England women's cricketer Sarah Taylor and girls from Spencer Cricket Club in Wandsworth about the increasing popularity of the women's game. Marianne Cassidy on her online "wish list" of the sex education she would like to have had at school - and listeners on what they wish they'd been told. Virginia Ironside and Annalisa Barbieri discuss what to do when grandparents have favourite grandchildren. Natasha Solomons on her novel The Gallery of Vanished Husbands. More people are surviving skin cancer but the number of cases is still on the rise and it's the most common cancer among those aged between 15 and 34 years old. Jenni is joined by Dr Louise Fearfield from the Royal Marsden Hospital and Stephanie Bennett, who is currently undergoing treatment for melanoma.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
