Ricky Ross chats to Paralympian and disability campaigner Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson.

Ricky Ross chats to Paralympian and disability campaigner Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson about her career and early years.

Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson won 16 Paralympic medals in an illustrious sporting career. She swopped the racing track for the House of Lords, and remains a tireless disability campaigner. Ricky chats to her about her career and early years.

Over 200,000 lives have been lost in the conflict in Syria over the past four years. Against the backdrop of the continuing crisis, Ricky is joined by a former Head for the UN in Sudan and Professor of Global Affairs at the University of Manchester, Mukesh Kapila, and Wassem Al-bahri, Syrian architectural conservationist and member of the Heritage for Peace organisation to discuss how voices can still be heard and a possible future built.


The diary of a teenager features on the show this week, but not full of the usual angst you'd expect. 14 year old Hannah Hafiz is documenting her experience of Ramadan, one of the most challenging in decades in the UK.


Christine Toomey's new book "The Saffron Road: A Journey with Buddha's Daughters" documents her travels from Nepal to India, through Burma, Japan and on to North America and Europe, to hear the stories of women who've chosen to dedicate their lives to Buddhism.


St Georges in London - one of the busiest A&E departments in the world - is the setting for the TV series "24 Hours in A&E". Ricky is joined by cultural critic Gareth K Vile and one of the executive producers Hamo Forsyth, about the power of the personal stories of the patients that come through the doors.
