The choreographer Matthew Bourne and X Factor 2013 winner Sam Bailey join Aasmah Mir and Richard Coles.

We meet the friends of Malala Yousafzai who were shot by the Taliban in Pakistan two years ago and are now studying in rural Wales. They will be reunited with Malala this week as she receives the Nobel Peace Prize.

Tim Wootton was told he wouldn't live long enough to finish school because of a genetic disease. Now in his 40s he explains what impact that's had on his outlook on life, and what others can learn from him.

Listener James Showers also shares lessons from his life, a life spent constantly re-inventing himself; head hunter, carpenter, rain forest resident, hermit, and now undertaker.

Plus we have the Inheritance Tracks of Michael Morpurgo.

Matthew Bourne's production of 'Edward Scissorhands' is on until January 11th at Sadler's Wells.
Sam Bailey's autobiography 'Daring to Dream' is published by Blink Publishing.

Producer: Joe Kent
