BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Alexa Chung; Joyce DiDonato

Presented by Jenni Murray. With model Alexa Chung and mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato.

Alexa Chung - model, muse and style icon; why there's still a long way to go to tackle child poverty; and mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato on performing at the Last Night of the Proms.

Described by Anna Wintour as "A Phenomenon", Alexa Chung, model, muse and style icon talks to Jenni about the inspiration for her eclectic style, why she deliberately muddies her new trainers, and how she decides what to wear in the mornings.
We look at the new research that shows that women who give up taking the breast cancer drug Tamoxifen are dying needlessly. Many give up because of the side effects which include hot flushes, sweating, tiredness and weight gain - what's been done to help them? And award-winning American mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato on how she feels about headlining the Last Night of the Proms this weekend.

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