Bethan and Huw sit in for Steve Lamacq with the latest tunes and a live set from Stereophonics. Plus Imran Ahmed and Emma Johnston with reviews of live gigs.

And at 11.30 Life Swap.
A look at an American student exchange programme that consciously sets out to alter the world's perception of America as an insular and provincial country. With reports from US students and their uprooted counterparts from Gaza and Lebanon.

Life Swap 11.30pm R1
Most of us in the media - especially at Radio Times, obviously - drive environmentally-damaging cars and drink posh coffee even though it's hand-pumped from Seattle by whipped midgets. But some try to restore the balance. Life Swap is a showcase for Saydeh, a Lebanese teenager living in America as part of a programme to improve Middle East/US understanding. Hear how she's adapting to a Spanish home, particularly its spicy food. We also hear from Ohio students who went to the Middle East. Tune in to gauge whether these programmes change misconceptions - or are simply ploys to bolster America.
