Sheila McClennon chooses the best of BBC audio this week.

This week we celebrate Woman’s Hour’s 75th birthday, National Poetry Day and the music of Michael Kiwanuka.
There’s classic comedy from Smack The Pony and a new sketch show, Drop the Dead Panda.
There won't be a dry eye in the concert hall as Paul Harvey, who has dementia, steps up to the podium to conduct the BBC Philharmonic.
And there’s a powerful interview on the nature of forgiveness with Mina Smallman, whose two daughters Bibaa and Nicole were murdered last year.
