Journalist and broadcaster Sarfraz Manzoor picks the best of BBC Radio this week

Journalist and broadcaster Sarfraz Manzoor makes his pick of the best of BBC Radio this week

In this week's Pick of the Week Sarfraz Manzoor is hearing voices from the other side. We go on board a Greyhound bus with singer songwriter, Doug Levitt, to share the experiences of people on the fringes of American society, and travel on The Beast, the train bringing migrants from Latin America in search of a better life in the Untied States. There's stories from our times told by the people who were there, including the nurse who helped to treat John Lennon after he was shot and the woman who became a fixer and close confidante to the Black Panthers. There are tales about the Golden Age of Hollywood told by cinema's most famous chimp, drama in The Life Scientific, and we take a slow walk through time.

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