Music and conversation from a faith and ethical perspective. Ricky Ross talks to Liberty director and human rights campaigner Shami Chakrabarti about her life and career.

Ricky's guest in the first hour of the programme is a champion of civil liberties and human rights, and once called 'the most dangerous woman in Britain' by a British tabloid. Shami Chakrabarti joins Ricky to talk about her life and career.

What do you remember from your religious education class at school? Not always the most riveting hour in our school day, but over the years it's gone through quite a dramatic change. Ricky finds out more about how it's evolved, in the company of 6th year pupil Catherine Rose; former teacher Rosa Murray; and Professor Stephen McKinney, author of a history of religious education.

The intrigues and politics of the Tudor court is a story we think we already know, yet it has enthralled us again in the new TV dramatisation of Wolf Hall.
The drama's also shone a light on the politics of King's Henry's court and the tussles with the church, as well as overturning the ideals some of us previously held of saintly figures from that era, Ricky is joined by Jolyon Mitchell, Senior Lecturer in Communication, Theology and Ethics at the University of Edinburgh, and Rosa Murray, to find out why it was the Tudors marked such a pivotal time in religious history.

In this week's Listening Project, Robert shares a conversation with Sister Bruce, the nursing sister who cared for him after a serious house fire, and how they became lifelong friends.

Scottish photographer David Eustace has a remarkable list of clients, including Sir Paul McCartney, Stephen Fry and Sophia Loren. But his latest role has seen him take on a new ambassadorial post with the Scotland Ö÷²¥´óÐãless World Cup team. David talks to Ricky about why he's so passionate about this collaboration.
