Mishal Husain introduces dispatches on Southern trains, Aberfan, Royston Cave and Dovecot.

Mishal Husain presents reports on the disruption at Southern trains, Aberfan 50 years on, an enduring mystery in Hertfordshire, Scots speakers and harmony across ages in Liverpool.

Mishal Husain introduces dispatches from journalists and writers around the United Kingdom that reflect the range of contemporary life in the country. From politics to pastimes, from hallowed traditions to emerging trends, from the curious to the ridiculous, the programme presents a tableau of Britain today.
This month's edition features contributions from: Paddy O'Connell on the wider importance of the disruption on Southern trains; Felicity Evans draws parallels between the Aberfan disaster, the fiftieth anniversary of which falls in October, and the deaths at Hillsborough in 1989; Hugh Levinson finds that a mystery in the Home Counties steadfastly resists being solved; John Forsyth celebrates contrariness in Scots - the language; and Roger Hill finds that in one part of Liverpool relations between the young and older people are very far from being the inter-generational conflict beloved of headline writers.

Producer Simon Coates.

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