Extended interview with former chief executive of Stonewall, Baroness Ruth Hunt.

What we can learn from ancient Aboriginal fire management skills in the wake of the Australian destruction; interview with former chief executive of Stonewall, Baroness Ruth Hunt.

Baroness Ruth Hunt of Bethnal Green looks back on her former life heading up Stonewall, and her quest to highlight issues around diversity and equality in her new role in the House of Lords.
In our occasional series on the inspirational things, people or places that we have a deep connection with, explorer Wade Davis reveals the one place in the world he keeps getting drawn back to. 
Victor Steffensen knows what it means to be connected to the land. As the world watches the devastation the bush fires in Australia are causing, Victor has been teaching indigenous fire management skills across Australia, skills that have been used and honed in Aboriginal communities for over 60,000 years. 
Luke Devlin, the Executive Director of the Centre for Human Ecology, and Lesley Riddoch, broadcaster, writer and land reform campaigner talk to Cathy about our own connection with, or disconnection from, the land here in Scotland.
In her new book, The Art Of Rest, psychologist Claudia Hammond addresses the under-valued art of relaxing.
