Jane Garvey talks to popular science writer Mary Roach about the digestive system.

Jane Garvey talks to popular science writer Mary Roach about why we should be more interested in the digestive system.

We discuss how life has changed for women and girls in china. Popular science writer Mary Roach talks about her book Gulp on the mysteries of our digestive system. We ask the significance of Ed Miliband appointing the former childcare minister Lucy Powell to a key role in Labour's general election campaign. With BBC Children in Need this Friday, we examine how widespread child neglect is and what more we could do to stop it? And, we hear about the involvement of Queen Caroline in the establishment of the first foundling hospital in the eighteenth century.

Presenter: Jane Garvey
Producer: Ruth Watts.

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