Stuart Maconie and guests with an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy.

Stuart Maconie is joined by athlete Iwan Thomas, comedian Chloe Petts, author and adventurer Rhiane Fatinikun. Music is from Raghu Dixit and Kiioto - Lou Rohodes and Rohan Heath

Stuart is joined in the Salford Loose Ends studio by the Welsh Sprinter Iwan Thomas, who held the UK 400m record for 25 years. His new memoir 'Brutal', tells his story - one of speed, the drive to succeed and an extremely high tolerance for pain. Rhiane Fatinikun is a British adventurer, broadcaster and author. She founded the collective 'Black Girls Hike' and with her book 'Finding Your Feet' she aims to inspire people 'to kick down barriers, go on adventures and empower the people around you to do the same'. Comedian Chloe Petts is gearing up for the Edinburgh Fringe, and in perhaps the ultimate highbrow/lowbrow combination; she's just presented a series on Radio 4 on the history of the toilet. 

Raghu Dixit is an independent Indian artist, soundtrack composer and former Microbiologist. His new album 'Shakkar' has been inspired by his personal struggles, but spreads a message of joy and kindness.  Kiiōtō is the new project by singer songwriter (and former Lamb vocalist) Lou Rhodes and musician and songwriter Rohan Heath, formerly of the Urban Cookie Collective. They are just about to release their debut album 'As Dust We Rise'.
