Our Craft Prize. Viewing porn in public spaces - is it illegal? Can poetry alleviate suffering? And "simple" seared tuna

Viewing porn in public spaces - is it illegal? Can poetry alleviate suffering? And 'Simple' seared tuna.

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Viewing porn in public spaces - is it illegal? Can poetry alleviate suffering? And 'Simple' seared tuna.

Woman's Hour Craft Prize. Diana Henry cooks the perfect seared tuna.

Viewing porn in public spaces - is it illegal? Our Craft Prize in partnership with the V&A and the Crafts Council. Plus, can poetry alleviate suffering? And 'simple' seared tuna.

We can now download or stream virtually anything on our mobile or tablet and that includes porn. Woman's Hour Producer Siobhann Tighe was on the bus going home after work when she noticed the man sitting next to her was using his phone to watch it. So, what happens when a stranger views pornography in a public space, close to you when you're not expecting it and don't want to see it? Jenni talks to Siobhann about what happened to her and to Professor Clare McGlynn from Durham University about the rules surrounding watching porn in public. Applications for the first Woman's Hour Craft Prize in partnership with the V&A and the Crafts Council are still open. Rosy Greenlees from the Crafts Council will be telling us more it and why it's significant. As Dannii Minogue admits to using Botox at difficult times in her life to mask her feelings we look at the link between our emotional lives and our appearance with psychoanalyst and writer Anouchka Grose and and by Dr Michael Lewis of Cardiff University School of Psychology. Diana Henry Cooks the Perfect Seared Tuna served with preserved lemon, olives and avocado - a recipe that's from her new book 'Simple'. And find out how poetry can alleviate suffering with acclaimed poet Fiona Sampson on Woman's Hour this Friday.
