BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Aldous Harding, #MeToo, June Sarpong, Table manners

Gothic folk; Diversify; exposing sexual abuse; what's the point of good table manners?

Aldous Harding sings gothic-folk music, listing victims, June Sarpong discusses marginalised groups, and how to create a fairer society.

New Zealand singer-songwriter Aldous Harding's style has been described as gothic-folk. She's known for her gentle laments, eerie odes and intense performance on stage. She made her recording debut aged 13 in a song she co-wrote with her mother, the folk artist Lorina Harding, but only learnt to play the guitar at 19. Jenni speaks to Harding about her career and she performs live in the studio. 

Following the allegations regarding the film producer Harvey Weinstein's alleged sexual impropriety towards women, the hashtag #MeToo began trending on Twitter. Having been used millions of times, Woman's Hour looks at why this social media movement has had such an impact and why some women reject what they see as pressure to tell their story. Sarah Green, co-founder of End Violence Against Women joins Jenni. 

In her new book Diversify June Sarpong puts the spotlight on six marginalised groups including disenfranchised males, women, those living with disabilities and the LGBT community. Jenni talks to her about integration and how we can all do our bit to help create a much fairer and more inclusive society that allows everyone to reach their full potential. 

How do you teach your children good table manners? What are good table manners anyway? And, in an era of fussy eaters and ever younger children developing eating disorders, do manners really matter? Jenni is joined by Kathryn Baldrey-Chourio, a former primary school teacher who set up a company that makes children's cutlery and Dr Frankie Phillips, a child nutritionist and a member of the British Dietetic Association.

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