Writer Kerry Hudson, 50 years on from the Stonewall Riots and remembering the Rwandan genocide.

Writer Kerry Hudson joins Richard to discuss her memoir Lowborn which charts her chaotic and unsettled childhood and why she returned to the many places of her youth for this book.

Phenomenally successful hymn-writers Keith and Kristyn Getty on the power of congregational singing and how to construct the perfect modern hymn.

In the week of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York, Richard is joined by the American-born writer, Ellen Galford, writer and commentator, Chris Creegan and organizer of the Free Pride event in Glasgow, Ciara McGuire to discuss how the events of 1969 changed the Gay Rights movement and the issues facing those who identify as gay and trans today.

And as the Edinburgh International Film Festival begins, Ciara McGuire reviews a documentary focusing on four queer and trans young people in New York City as they struggle to maintain their communal lifestyle.

And the Reverend Lesley Bilinda shares with Richard her memories of the genocide in Rwanda and how she struggled to come to terms with the death of her husband.
