A new helpline is launched for women who buy illegal abortion pills.

A new helpline is launched for women who buy illegal abortion pills. Plus a look at the secret of modern pop songs, the millennial whoop.

A new helpline is launched for women in Ireland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man who buy abortion pills online. The British Pregnancy Advisory service will run a 24 hour aftercare helpline for women who have purchased abortion pills from two not-for-profit websites. BPAS tells You & Yours they believe that women taking these pills might be afraid to access medical care because the medication is illegal.

What links Katy Perry and Beethoven's 'Fur Elise' as the secret of the modern pop song? The millennial whoop of course. Musician Patrick Metzger explains the melodic trick which unites so many contemporary hits.

It started with a plan to fund school fees, was inspired by Harry Potter and credits fashion bloggers and Google behind its success. But what will the Cambridge Satchel Company do next? Founder Julie Deane tells Winifred Robinson how she's moving on from a tough few years.

And the online travel agency eDreams respond to criticism that they are misleading customers. 

Producer: Rebecca Maxted
Presenter: Winifred Robinson.

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