On a makeshift stall in Cape Coast, Ghana, Brian SAT Shimkovitz, a young American ethnomusicologist, buys a SAT cassette tape. The bright yellow cover features a picture of SAT the artist clutching a microphone and sporting a denim SAT jacket, black cap worn backwards and dark sunglasses. He's SAT called Ata Kak. SAT SAT The tape is packed away and forgotten, re-discovered a few SAT years later in New York. SAT It's the start of an obsession. SAT SAT Brian is one of a handful of bloggers, DJs and record label SAT bosses who are digging up lost musical gems from across SAT Africa and giving it a new lease of life. They're the crate SAT diggers; enthusiasts of new sounds and exotic rhythms found SAT in piles of dusty LPs lying forgotten across the African SAT continent and beyond. Brian Shimkovitz started a blog called SAT Awesome Tapes From Africa. Inspired by his fellow American SAT and European crate diggers, it's now a fledgling record SAT label. SAT SAT Mark Coles follows Brian as he searches for Ata Kak, a hunt SAT that takes him around the world at great personal expense. SAT Who is the man behind this bizarre blend of excited shrieks, SAT raps and 90's beats who, unknowingly, now has a fanbase of SAT cool kids, online music geeks and world music devotees?

SAT SAT Credits SAT Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b0474xdk (Listen) SAT A History of the N-Word SAT SAT There are some words in English that are so controversial SAT that they are shortened to a single letter lest they cause SAT offence. Perhaps the most inflammatory is the N-word. The SAT proxy barely disguises the racial insult, "nigger", which SAT has topped lists of ugly and hateful words since it was SAT first uttered in the seventeenth century. It has regularly SAT wounded black people, its target, down the ages. When, for SAT instance, the African American boxer, Muhammad Ali, was SAT asked why he resisted the draft in the Vietnam War, he is SAT alleged to have said: "No Vietnamese ever called me nigger." SAT SAT Ellah Allfrey looks at its evolution from its origins as a SAT mispronunciation of the Spanish "negro" in the 17th century. SAT She illuminates how and why the capitalised "Negro" became SAT the more acceptable version of the word in the 1920s (the SAT landmark adoption of Negro by the New York Times was in SAT 1930); through to the subsequent re-appropriation of the N SAT word in rap and hip-hop culture. But even when coming from SAT the mouths of black people the N word continues to cause SAT offence. There have been calls for the word to be banned. SAT But is this possible or desirable?

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b046l802 (Listen) SAT The 800th anniversary of the sealing of the Magna Carta on SAT the 15th of June next year has taken on a whole new level of SAT importance and symbolism. It's now become a major plank in SAT the government's response to the Trojan Horse controversy in SAT some Birmingham schools. Historians may have argued for SAT decades about the true significance of the document, but SAT today politicians are clear - this is now about "British SAT Values" - what they are and the role they should play in SAT education. The only trouble is you have to define them SAT first. And David Cameron wouldn't be the first politician to SAT come unstuck there. Writing about it this week he started SAT one paragraph with "freedom", followed quickly by SAT "tolerance" and only 37 words later had resorted to "fish SAT and chips". So how do we define these values? Perhaps SAT they're being the kind of socially responsible parent who SAT wants to instil their values into their children and who's SAT willing to dedicate a considerable amount of their spare SAT time to become a school governor to help their local SAT community? What if those parents happen to be Muslims who SAT want their schools to have more of an "Islamic" ethos in an SAT attempt to insulate their children against the "corrupting" SAT effects of British society? What should you do when the SAT values of a community clash with wider social norms? How SAT tolerant should we be? Is it the role of the state to define SAT and dictate what values should be taught in schools, or SAT should that be the job of parents? Can you even teach values SAT or are they something that we absorb gradually? Is this SAT really about what is, or isn't being taught in a small group SAT of schools in Birmingham, or is it more a crisis of SAT confidence in our society about what we should and shouldn't SAT value?

SUN SUN 13:30 Tales from the Stave b04581jm (Listen) SUN Series 10, Sousa's The Stars and Stripes for Ever SUN SUN It's 'ere we go, ere we go, ere we go' for the last in the SUN current series of Tales from the Stave, Frances Fyfield's SUN exploration of the handwritten manuscripts of our greatest SUN composers. However, rather than a football stadium Frances SUN is in the Library of Congress, Washington DC along with two SUN US Marine Bandsmen Michael Ressler and Ryan Nowlin. They've SUN come to see the marches of John Philip Sousa and most SUN importantly The national march of the United States - The SUN Stars and Stripes Forever. SUN SUN Sousa's neat scores and his sketch books are far more than SUN just interesting research fodder for these men who have SUN marched to Sousa's beat for a lifetime. SUN There's fascination in his working methods, many of them SUN explained by a third bandsman and member of the Library SUN staff, Loras Schissel. Sousa never wrote at the piano and SUN rarely put pen to paper before working much of his material SUN out in his head. Melody, harmony, rhythms; these were all in SUN place before he started sharing his composition. SUN And while his music is full of boisterous confidence, Sousa SUN himself was a modest figure. A violinist and son of SUN immigrant parents he always gave the impression that fortune SUN was kind to him, belying the sheer effort and labour which SUN saw him create his own touring band who were on the road for SUN the majority of the year. SUN The programme tells the story of how he came to write 'The SUN Stars and Stripes for Ever', the impact it had and Sousa's SUN place in US musical history. SUN The musical highlight is the moment that our three bandsmen, SUN imitating piccolo, trombone and cornet, perform Sousa's SUN famous trio tune (borrowed by football fans all over the SUN world) in glorious three part harmony. SUN SUN Producer: Tom Alban. SUN SUN 14:00 Gardeners' Question Time b046p07s (Listen) SUN Tiverton, Devon SUN SUN Eric Robson and the team visit Tiverton, Devon. Matt Biggs, SUN Pippa Greenwood and Anne Swithinbank take questions from a SUN local audience. SUN SUN Produced by Victoria Shepherd. SUN Assistant Producer: Darby Dorras SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4 SUN SUN This week's questions and answers: SUN Q: I have two clumps of Lupins planted about 60 yards (about SUN 54 metres) apart. One is covered in aphids, the other is SUN aphid free, why might this be? Does the panel have any tips SUN to avoid aphids? SUN SUN A: Different aphids have different preferences and the SUN Lupins might be at different stages of growth. To avoid SUN aphids next year, put strips of tin foil on the flower bed SUN adjacent to the affected plants. The light reflected off the SUN tin foil confuses the aphids and they are deterred from SUN settling on the plant. SUN SUN Q. I'm building up a rockery, can you recommend local and SUN exotic plants that will grow around the rocks? SUN SUN A. Local varieties include dwarf alpine varieties, like the SUN Silene maritima, with pretty Campion-like flowers. You could SUN also try Campanula portenschlagiana, Aubretias and Louisias. SUN A more exotic plant that would grow well would be the SUN Carpobrotus (Hottentot Fig). Lithodora 'Heavenly Blue' would SUN do well, as would Rock Roses,Sempervivums and Daphne SUN Blagayana. You could also try cushion plants such as SUN Saxifraga 'Tumbling Waters'. SUN SUN Q. The leaves of my Skimmia japonica rubella have yellowed. SUN What has happened? SUN SUN A. This is a classic symptom of wet weather and clay soil. SUN To treat the plant, use foliar feed. Mix epsom salts with SUN water and a dash of washing-up liquid and pour this mixture SUN over the leaves. This will help stimulate chloroplast SUN production - returning the leaves to a healthier green SUN colour. However, do be prepared for a bit of die back. SUN SUN Q. Can the panel recommend perennials that I can leave in SUN the ground? SUN SUN A. Japanese Anemones, Sedums and Irises can be left in the SUN ground. Other good options include SUN Gillenia trifoliata, Dicentras, Spectabilis,Thalictrums and SUN Crocosmias. SUN SUN Q. I have a 6ft (1.8 metre) high, north-facing drystone SUN wall. Can the panel suggest some plants to enhance its SUN appearance? SUN SUN A. Japanese Quince, Chaenomeles speciosa nivalis, Actinidia SUN kolomikta, climbing Hydrangea or Hydrangea Seemanii could be SUN grown up the wall. You might like to try nestling plants in SUN between the stones. Ivy-leaved Toadflax and ferns would work SUN well. Gooseberry bushes do well in the shade if you wanted SUN to grow fruit. SUN SUN Q. Hail stones have gone through the leaves in my garden. SUN The holes have now browned and they look bad. Will cutting SUN off the leaves stimulate fresh leaf growth? SUN SUN A. No. The plant will suffer if you remove most of the SUN leaves. Just remove the leaves that look like they might SUN have a secondary infection such as grey mould. You could do SUN a little gentle pruning to tidy up and encourage stem SUN growth. SUN SUN Q. I have a confusion of raspberries on my allotment and I'm SUN not sure which are summer fruiting and which are autumn SUN fruiting. Hence, my pruning has been random. None of the SUN plants are particularly fruitful. Should I start again? SUN SUN A. Yes. Choose a new sight and build up a mound of soil SUN before planting. Stick to autumn fruiting varieties as they SUN tend to better in clay soil. SUN SUN 14:45 The Listening Project b0475524 (Listen) SUN Fi Glover introduces conversations from Cumbria, Suffolk and SUN Devon about age differences in marriage, the learning curve SUN in adoption, and collaboration in writing and illustrating.

The conversations are being gathered across the UK SUN by teams of producers from local and national radio stations SUN who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're SUN not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - SUN lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key SUN moment of connection between the participants. Most of the SUN unedited conversations are being archived by the British SUN Library and used to build up a collection of voices SUN capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade SUN of the millennium.

MON MON He analyses how these countries reacted to the assassination MON of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in Sarajevo MON on 28th June 1914 and casts fresh light on the causes of the MON First World War, offering a new interpretation of the MON catastrophe. MON MON This short-run crisis was the most complex event in modern MON history - yet Professor Clark argues that, far from being a MON slow sequence of events in which bungling leaders walked MON blindly to war, it was a fast-paced crisis that contains MON lessons and parallels for our own world. There was no MON 'slithering over the brink' as Lloyd George later claimed, MON but rather a sequence of clear-eyed steps. The July Crisis MON of 1914 was a 'Month of Madness', not because the men who MON made it were themselves mad, but because its outcome was MON completely catastrophic and completely unnecessary. MON MON In the first programme, Professor Clark travels to Sarajevo MON to tell the story of extraordinary chances that led to the MON assassinations of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife MON Sophie Chotek on 28th June 1914, conveying a sharp sense of MON the dramatic sequence of events that day and how they were MON shaped by the geography of the city. MON MON The repercussions of the assassinations - comparable to the MON effect of 9/11 - exemplify the transformative power of a MON terrorist event. But the murders were not a pretext for a MON war decided in advance - nor did they make conflict MON inevitable. MON MON Producer: Melissa FitzGerald MON A Blakeway production for BBC Radio 4. MON MON 10:00 Woman's Hour b0477j4g (Listen) MON Jane Garvey presents the programme that offers a female MON perspective on the world.

MON Whether a child stays overnight with dad depends on their MON age and their relationship with their father, shared MON residency might work for adults but it can damage kids. MON Divorce is always bad for children, whatever MON adults might tell themselves. Penelope Leach talks to Jane MON Garvey about how parents can help their children to cope MON with the grim, grown-up business of divorce. MON MON Women Gamblers MON MON Is problem gambling increasingly an issue for women? MON Technological advances mean we can now bet from our mobiles, MON TVs or computers at any time of the day or night. The 2005 MON Gambling Act was designed to protect children and vulnerable MON people, cut crime and keep games fair. It covers all aspects MON of the industry; gaming in arcades, bingo, casinos and MON remote gambling, and forces operators make gambling more MON socially responsible. However the act also enabled operators MON to advertise on TV and radio for the first time. We’ll be MON looking at the effect of all this on women - prompted by the MON news that MON Gamblers Anonymous MON has recently appointed its first ever female liaison MON officer. Jane will be joined by Sue Rossiter, Director of MON Policy and Projects who chairs the Social Responsibility MON Committee at the Remote Gambling Association. And Stella MON Dalton, Head of Education and Prevention at Gamcare. MON MON Loneliness MON MON Loneliness is said to be the silent epidemic of our MON times. A study released by the National Office of Statistics MON revealed that British people are among the most lonely in MON Europe. And feelings of loneliness can be experienced at any MON age, and are not restricted to the elderly or those who live MON alone. It can afflict the unemployed, singles, new mums, MON empty nesters, the unemployed, the bereaved, the poor, MON disabled or mentally ill, as well as those who experience a MON deep disconnection from others even when they have plenty of MON human contact. But this is a condition that can be MON embarassing to discuss with others. MON MON MON MON On Woman’s Hour all this week, we’ll be hearing a range of MON voices in different circumstances on how being lonely MON affects them and the factors that contribute to it as well MON as soultions and schemes to combat loneliness.

MON MON A slice of village life from the wild, mountainous MON Pak-Afghan borders where the only law is tribal law and MON there is no road, no electricity and no phone - but hi-tech MON drones fly overhead.

Just one item will be sold - a smudgy reddish little MON stamp. It's expected to sell for $20 million. Even if it MON sells for only half that price, it will become the most MON valuable object for its size and weight in the history of MON the world. MON MON The stamp is the 1856 British Guiana 1-Cent Magenta - the MON only one of its type in existence. The sale follows the MON death of its most recent owner, American multi-millionaire MON John Du Pont, who died in a secure mental hospital in MON Pennsylvania, while serving a life sentence for the murder MON of his closest friend, Dave Schultz, an Olympic gold medal MON winning wrestler. MON MON Writer and historian Joshua Levine charts the life of the MON stamp - something of a chequered history - and tells a MON parallel story of the psychology of collecting. MON MON Discovered by a 12-year-old Scottish boy in 1873, he sold MON the 1-Cent Magenta for a few shillings. Five years later it MON was bought by the Austrian, Phillipp Von Ferrary, the owner MON of the greatest stamp collection the world has ever seen. MON His entire collection was stolen by the French government, MON who sold it in 1919. The stamp then passed through several MON hands, including those of Arthur Hind, an English textile MON dealer living in New York, who legend has it acquired the MON only other 1-Cent Magenta in existence - which he set MON alight, exclaiming 'Now there's only one again!". MON MON Why do humans feel the need to collect, categorise and MON classify? As we examine these stories of bitterness and MON misfortune, should we attribute a curse to the little stamp? MON Or should we, instead, blame it on the irresponsibility, MON greed and sense of entitlement which so often accompanies MON great wealth and privilege.

Born in 1867 MON amidst the roar and industry of The Potteries, he became a MON giant of the London literati, renowned far beyond the MON capital for works such as The Old Wives' Tale, The Card and MON Anna of the Five Towns. MON MON But Bennett was not just a novelist. From screenplays to MON 'how to' books, Evening Standard articles to Woman magazine, MON he was wildly prolific, unashamed of earning a living from MON his art, and as capable of describing the minutiae of grand MON hotels as he was the life of the charwoman. MON MON Mourned by the likes of Lord Beaverbrook and Somerset MON Maugham when he died in 1931, Arnold Bennett earned a level MON of wealth and celebrity in his lifetime of which many MON writers might now only dream. MON MON So why does this man - who once wrote in his journal that he MON "would not care a bilberry for posterity" - seem to have MON somewhat fallen from fame? What's his legacy in his MON hometown? And what could his life and work say to 21st MON century Britain? MON MON In this programme, Bennett fan Samira Ahmed reappraises the MON reputation of this self-made man from the Potteries, MON visiting places as diverse as The Savoy Hotel and Stoke City MON FC.

MON MON Since French military and naval intervention won America its MON independence, the new Republic has been Britain's most MON consistent real rival with the Burning of the White House MON its most potent symbol. MON MON The first half of the 20th century was characterised by MON unprecedented hostility between the two nations and American MON support for Britain in both World Wars came at a price. MON Peter Hitchens argues that Lend-lease during the war was not MON an act of friendship, but a cynical subsidy, and much was MON demanded in return - our gold reserves and bases in the MON Caribbean. At Bretton Woods, he suggests, Britain came under MON irresistible pressure from the US to abandon Sterling's MON position as a major reserve currency, ceding it to the US MON dollar. MON MON After 1945, the 'help' stopped. The post-war years saw the MON Suez humiliation, brutal (however well-deserved) pressure on MON Britain to submit to the European Union, and a series of MON events which show that the United States only observed the MON Special Relationship when it suited - treating Britain as a MON junior rather than an equal partner. MON MON With pro-active argument and surprising revelations, Peter MON Hitchens challenges the received wisdom and attempts to show MON that Uncle Sam was always out to replace the British Empire MON with its own global leadership.

MON MON Some British politicians, from both the left and right, are MON somewhat starry-eyed when it comes to the way other MON countries run their economy and have even suggested the UK MON could improve its lot by importing the best-practices found MON across Scandinavia and Germany. But is that remotely MON possible? MON MON In this edition of Analysis, Britain Politics correspondent MON for The Economist Jeremy Cliffe investigates the different MON forms capitalism defined by the Varieties of Capitalism MON school, which emerged after the publication of a book of the MON same name back in 2001. MON MON He begins by working out what makes a 'Liberal Market MON Economy' and a 'Coordinated Market Economy' - and then digs MON deeper to find out how these different models formed in the MON first place. MON MON He discovers a deep web of intertwined government MON institutions which have been shaped over decades and MON centuries by each individual country's culture. It turns out MON that transplanting a different way of doing things from one MON country to another is just not that simple... but does that MON mean politicians should just give up trying to do something MON different?

TUE TUE Burning Both Ends tells the story of one of the most TUE infamous, unexpected and touching of friendships between two TUE icons of the 1970s, Oliver Reed and Keith Moon. TUE TUE In the mid-1970s, Oliver was an international movie star, TUE and Keith was a rock n'roll legend, the drummer for rock TUE band, The Who. Both were famous for their partying and TUE boozing, as well as their undeniable talents. Mercurial and TUE unpredictable, both men were at the top of their game - but TUE the top can be a very lonely place. TUE TUE Then they met, on the film set of The Who's epic rock opera, TUE Tommy. What followed was a revelation - in each other they TUE found a true kindred spirit, their own shadow image. TUE TUE This is a story of madness and mayhem, antics and TUE adventures, but also of love and loss - the dangerous, TUE dazzling brilliance of two unbridled spirits connecting, but TUE then the huge pain when one of them dies prematurely. TUE TUE Recounting the electrifying "bruv-affair" between these two TUE iconic figures, Burning Both Ends is the story of two men TUE who found in each other a true friend, and who loved each TUE other as fiercely as they partied... TUE TUE Burning Both Ends is written by Matthew Broughton, and TUE directed by Sam Hoyle. Matt and Sam have collaborated TUE together on several radio plays, most recently, Vincent TUE Price and The Horror of The English Blood Beast - a peek TUE behind the scenes of the British cult horror classic, TUE WitchFinder General. TUE TUE Burning Both Ends is inspired by true events, but scenes and TUE characters have been created for dramatic effect. TUE TUE Burning Both Ends is a BBC Cymru/Wales production directed TUE by Sam Hoyle. Other members of the cast include Matthew TUE Gravelle, Richard Nichols, Bethan Walker and Claire Cage.

FRI FRI As events unfolded in July 1914, all eyes were on the FRI British and how they would react. In the final programme of FRI his series, Professor Christopher Clark analyses British FRI decision-making during the July Crisis. FRI FRI At the centre of the events in London was the Foreign FRI Secretary Sir Edward Grey. Of all the politicians who walked FRI the European political stage in 1914, he was the most FRI baffling. Professor Clark shows how the last-minute British FRI decision to enter the war on the side of France and Russia, FRI and to declare war on Germany, was a decision of FRI world-historical import that transformed a local conflict FRI into a global struggle. FRI FRI Christopher Clark is Professor of Modern History at the FRI University of Cambridge and a Fellow of St Catharine's FRI College. He is the author of Kaiser Wilhelm II, Iron Kingdom FRI and - most recently - of the highly acclaimed and FRI award-winning The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went To War in FRI 1914.

FRI FRI Over in the Khan household, Akbar Khan is tired of the FRI behaviour of Kashmala, his son's young widow. He and his FRI mother suspect she is teaching in secret and so they develop FRI a plan to keep her busy. FRI FRI There seems to be good news, though, for Akbar Khan's elder FRI son, Wisal, who is in love with Zarlakhta, the poorest girl FRI in the village. FRI FRI An Everyday Story of Afghan Folk is based on characters and FRI storylines from PACT Radio's daily soap, made by and for the FRI Pashtoon people of this untamed area. It's a slice of FRI village life from the wild, mountainous Pak-Afghan borders FRI where the only law is tribal law and there is no road, no FRI electricity and no phone - but hi-tech drones fly overhead.

In 2006, the UK was not importing any Danish FRI sperm, but by 2010 Denmark was supplying around a third of FRI our total imports. Why are Danish donors in such demand? Is FRI it simply a desire for the tall, blonde, blue-eyed, FRI well-educated stereotype - or is there more to it? FRI FRI Kate Brian, who has reported on fertility issues for two FRI decades, hears from women who have been attracted by the FRI range and availability of Danish donors. Some have been FRI overwhelmed by the vast amount of detail that can be FRI accessed online - typically, thirty pages about each FRI individual, including voice samples and baby photos. FRI FRI She investigates whether there is a problem with the UK's FRI own system of recruiting and supplying donor sperm. One FRI couple looked to Denmark after being told there was a FRI ten-year wait in their area for a suitable donor. How common FRI is this? Has the 2005 law change removing UK donors' rights FRI to anonymity made a difference? FRI FRI Kate also travels to Copenhagen to meet some of the 250 men FRI who regularly donate at European Sperm Bank, receiving FRI around £30 per visit. How rigorous is the selection process FRI for becoming a donor? Is the incentive merely financial? And FRI how do the men feel about producing potentially hundreds of FRI children, many of which may contact them in years to come?

FRI FRI Dr Phil Hammond and David Spicer's satire on some of the FRI major issues thrown up by NHS reform. Among the many targets FRI in their sights are the Care Quality Commission, patient FRI records, privatisation, whistleblowing, time wasters and FRI patient participation groups. FRI FRI Will the NHS be safe in the hands of Pfizer? Why do doctors FRI often look sicker than their patients? Would an NHS FRI executive go private? How are doctors revalidated? What does FRI that actually mean? And is that piece of dry skin on your FRI heel anything to do with the amount you've been drinking FRI lately? These and other questions may well be answered at FRI Polyoaks - the flagship of enlightened West Country General FRI Practice at the forefront of a constantly reforming NHS. FRI FRI Nigel Planer stars as Dr Roy Thornton and Simon Greenall as FRI his brother Dr Hugh Thornton in a clinic always at odds with FRI itself over diagnoses, funding, clinical commissioning FRI groups, Jeremy Hunt and the ever more dubious commercial FRI activities of their associate TV's Dr. Jeremy (David FRI Westhead), who is still juggling Dictionary Corner, a series FRI of Malpractice suits and forgotten alimony payments.
