A school struggling with numbers, Morris dancing at dawn and shredded torsos all feature.

Mishal introduces dispatches on a Cornish school closure, a Hull improvised singing group, Morris dancing on the A2, an opera club and young men's yearning for a six-pack.

Mishal Husain introduces pieces from journalists and writers around the United Kingdom. This month: Petroc Trelawny revisits his old primary school in Cornwall as a critical decision on its future approaches; Ruth Getz tells the story of the improvised singing group she has founded in Hull, this year's City of Culture; Julian May ponders the place of Morris dancing in English culture; Geeta Guru-Murthy reveals what her opera group gets up to; and Jordan Dunbar confesses all about his millennial male yearning for a rippling stomach.

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.
