Alison Goldfrapp talks about the inspiration behind her new album Tales of Us.

Four men have been convicted of raping and murdering the 23-year-old physiotherapy student on board a bus in New Delhi last December. We examine how attitudes towards women in India have changed with the BBC Hindi's correspondent Rupa Jha.

Louise Brealey, better known as Molly in the BBC TV Series Sherlock, talks about her playwriting debut - a new version of a near mythic tale, Pope Joan.

In the last of our series on parent blogging, Hayley Goleniowska and Jennie Henley explain why they use blogs to campaign on issues that directly affect their lives.

Afghan politician and women's rights activist Fawzia Koofi tried to have the 2009 Elimination of Violence Against Women (EVAW) law, which was passed by presidential decree, ratified by parliament. She says this was necessary to give it a lasting legitimacy. Her efforts have backfired and now there are fears that the law may even be repealed. Heather Barr, Afghanistan researcher for Human Rights Watch explains why.

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