Liz Barclay chooses her highlights from the previous seven days of BBC Radio.

Radio is at its best when people tell real life stories and we've got some terrific tales this week: of an inspirational teacher changing lives, of a civil rights campaigner standing up to lynch mobs, of the show carrying on in siege torn Sarajevo. We have contemporary stories of climbing feats, the impact of emigration and the power of music mixed with archived accounts of the disastrous effects of war and the advent of page three. So join us for Pick of the Week.
