Two hours of music and stimulating conversation, including an interview with prominent anti-apartheid campaigner Albie Sachs.
Ricky's special first hour guest is lawyer and prominent anti-apartheid campaigner and activist, Albie Sachs. He was involved in creating South Africa's post-apartheid constitution after the first democratic elections in 1994, and Nelson Mandela appointed him a Judge in the country's newly established constitutional court. He talks about his fight for freedom, which saw him imprisoned in solitary confinement and seriously injured by a car bomb.
After a bloody and difficult week in Egypt, peace experts Rosemary Hollis and Paul Rogers discuss where the Egyptians could go next, and how to get opposing sides round the table for talks.
Bob Dickson brings another story of a remarkable person whose faith enabled them to touch the lives of others in extraordinary ways. We learn about the unorthodox Christian radical Father Roland Walls, who helped found a monastic style community in a green tin shack in a former miners welfare institute in Midlothian.
And Ricky finds out how an orchestra of instruments moulded from trash, has transformed and brought music to one slum town in Paraguay. Filmmaker, Alejandra Nash, speaks to Ricky about her documentary 'Landfill Harmonic'.
