Writer John Lanchester explains why it is important to understand the language of money.

Two hours of music and conversation from a faith and ethical perspective. Journalist and writer John Lanchester explains why it is important to understand the language of money.

Expert at decoding and translating the world of finance, journalist and writer John Lanchester, tells Cathy why it's so important that we all understand the language of money.

The power of words and culture in bringing about peace is discussed with Dan Smith of International Alert, creators of the Talking Peace Festival, and Salman Siddiqui from MUJU, an organisation providing platforms for Muslim and Jewish creative collaboration.

Our reporter Bob Dickson hears about a rare and fascinating find - a fragment of religious music manuscript that dates back to pre-Reformation Haddington - and gets to hear the music being sung 5 centuries on.

Cathy explores the impact that song, poetry and storytelling have on care home residents, with Lorna Irvine and Martha Pollard who have been working on Living Voices, a pilot programme run by the Scottish Poetry Library and Scottish Storytelling Centre.

And she's been described by Philip Pullman as having a visionary understanding of childhood, author Jay Griffiths speaks about the relationship we have with children in contemporary society and what we need to do in order to make our children feel happier.
