The Mahotella Queens, Sara Paretsky, Tiken Jah Fakoly

The Mahotella Queens, Kurdish poet Choman Hardi, the creators of Pixar鈥檚 new film Inside Out, Japanese sit-down comedy, Sara Paretsky and Tiken Jah Fakoly.

We hear from South Africa's singing and dancing trio The Mahotella Queens, still singing and dancing like teenagers after 50 years of performing. Celebrated Kurdish poet Choman Hardi tells us why women's issues in her region need to take centre stage. The creators of Pixar鈥檚 new film Inside Out explore the five human emotions. We learn about Japanese sit-down comedy, and we find out how Ideas Boxes are helping refugees and deprived communities. Superstar crime writer Sara Paretsky discusses her latest VI Wachowski book and Tiken Jah Fakoly from Ivory Coast brings us reggae music with revolution.
