Poet Lemn Sissay explores the life of the influential activist, musician, writer and 'godfather of rap' Gil Scott-Heron, who died in May 2011.
Following in the footsteps of Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes, The Black Arts movement and jazz and blues musicians such as John Coltrane and Billie Holiday, Gil Scott-Heron helped pioneer the fight for racial equality and developed a new way of fusing music with hard-hitting political poetry. His story reflects the modern African-American struggle, from segregation in the South to triumph in the White House.
Lemn will speak to Gil about his childhood, spent with his feisty grandmother in Tennessee, and his teenage years in New York at the height of the Civil Rights movement, punctuated by the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and when black artists, musicians and writers were beginning to find a voice in modern American society.
Gil spent four decades in the music business during which time he joined forces with Stevie Wonder to campaign for a Martin Luther King national holiday, paved the way for the birth of hip hop, influenced some of the biggest names in popular culture and wrestled with a long term addiction to drugs.

James Nestor's 'Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science and What the Ocean Tells Us About Ourselves' explores the human relationship with the deep sea, following extreme athletes, adventurers and scientists who risk life and limb to dive deeper than anyone before. What they discover is weird and wondrous, and in many cases redefines our understanding of biology – ours, and the sea's.
Deep begins at the surface and then plunges ever deeper into the unknown – until we are at 35,797 feet below sea level: the lowest point on earth. "Freedivers" come to the ocean to redefine the limits of the human body, swimming up to 400 feet below the surface for minutes at a time in a single breath.
Nestor learns how to stay underwater for extended periods; goes shark-tagging; has a close encounter with sperm whales; plunges to 2,500 feet in a DIY submarine; and unveils startling facets of human physiology – most notably the extraordinary life-preserving reflexes known as the Master Switch of Life.

THU 06:30 A Weekend in Butetown (b01rvnx5)
Gwyneth Lewis explores the contemporary life and fascinating history of the largest Somali community outside Somalia as National Theatre Wales visits Butetown in Cardiff for a one-off reclaiming of a unique migratory and poetic heritage.
In the days when Cardiff was one of the shipping centres of the world, it's docks areas became special multicultural, multilingual communities. These port areas were often isolated from the cities around them, while at the same time closely connected to places thousands of miles away.
One of the biggest communities to thrive in Cardiff's Tiger Bay, as it was called, was made up of Somali sailors and tradespeople, who settled half way up the Bristol Channel in such numbers that it became the largest Somali community outside Somalia itself.
Inside that community, they kept alive the traditions and stories of their relatives in the way that generations of Somalians had done - through story telling and poetry. As the 60s turned to the 70s and 80s, these stories were still told in terraces in Butetown (the ideal workers house village built for the dockers by the Lord Bute, and cassettes of the storytellers in Cardiff and back home would travel beween the two places on the ships.
The first production in National Theatre Wales' third season, De Gabay [The Poem] was a two-day, site-specific exploration of the Butetown area of Cardiff, with a focus on the lives of its young Somali poets and the generations that came before them.
In this programme poet (and transatlantic sailor) Gwyneth Lewis visits Butetown as the performance comes through the community. She talks to members both young and old and listens to their stories and their poetry. She asks about their traditions of theatre, and how the community has kept its cultural independence within Wales for so many years.
The backdrop of the theatre weekend itself, with its street parades and public performance, sits alongside the very personal stories of the community today.

Chris Tarrant chooses one of the great pioneers of modern radio - a man born Maurice Cole in Liverpool in 1944, who became famous on television as Gizzard Puke, Cupid Stunt and Sid Snot.
Kenny Everett's life was almost as bizarre as the characters he played, but it is for his work as a deejay that Chris Tarrant selects him. Tarrant was at Capital Radio for twenty years.
Kenny Everett began his career in pirate radio, from where he was sacked. He also worked for the BBC, from where he was sacked. He made one appearance on Radio 4's Just a Minute, famously talking about marbles. Other employees included Radio Luxembourg and Capital.
Presenter Matthew Parris reminisces about the Young Conservatives invitation to Kenny Everett to join them on stage in 1983 - his slogans included 'Let's Bomb Russia' and 'Let's kick Michael Foot's stick away' - while biographer James Hogg fills in some of the details of Everett's complicated personal life.

Diane Morgan and Joe Wilkinson discover they don't actually have a radio series at all. You can also see an animation of one sketch via the Radio 4 Extra website - it's a fishy tale.
A mix of silly, surreal sketches and banter with Diane Morgan, Joe Wilkinson, David O'Doherty, Paul Harry Allen, Peter Donaldson, Ken Bruce, Bobbie Pryor and Gary Newman.
The series also has an absurd narrative, which makes fun of its new home at BBC Radio 4, after starting life on Radio 2.
Animation: Tom Rourke.
Producer: Clair Wordsworth
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in September 2012.

A chance encounter in prison enables Jack to formulate a plan that will put an end to his nemesis once and for all.
Conclusion of Elmore Leonard's enthralling criminal odyssey set against the dusty, sun-kissed backdrop of Oklahoma and Kansas during America's Great Depression.

The Prophecy
By Richard Katz and John Nicholson
In medieval Scotland, a pair of soldiers, fleeing their own regiment, come face-to-face with a trio of witches on a desolate moor. One of them receives a prophecy that he will become King of Scotland. It's a classic case of mistaken identity.

Deep
Sri Lanka
James Nestor's book, "Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science and What the Ocean Tells Us About Ourselves" begins at the surface and then plunges ever deeper into the unknown – until we are at 35,797 feet below sea level: the lowest point on earth. "Freedivers" come to the ocean to redefine the limits of the human body, swimming up to 400 feet below the surface for minutes at a time in a single breath.
Nestor introduces us to freedivers who are drawn to the sea for a variety of reasons: some to break records, some to find peace, and some who are scientists, freediving 'because it's the most intimate way to connect with the ocean.'
Nestor unveils startling facets of human physiology – most notably the extraordinary life-preserving reflexes known as the Master Switch of Life.
And we learn about the old and new life-forms that inhabit our deep oceans – a habitat with the greatest biodiversity on earth, yet most of it remains unknown.
Abridged and produced by Pippa Vaughan.

Dave Podmore's Toughest Test
It's Ashes time (again) and the world's sleaziest cricketer Dave Podmore is here with his explosive memoir DP. But, in doing so, he's putting at risk his budding career as motivational coach for the England women's team.
Pod's especially proud of emerging star player Danniii (yes, three i's), until he realises his precious second-hand car lot endorsements have a new competitor who's young enough to still be discovered on the Borrowash roundabout at
3am with her pants on her head.
Is Pod's long reign as England's anti-hero finally over? And has he burned his lucrative corporate advertising bridges for good?
It's Pod's toughest test yet.
Starring Christopher Douglas as Dave Podmore.
With Lewis Macleod, Andrew Nickolds, Andy Hamer and Nicola Sanderson.
Scripted by Christopher Douglas, Andrew Nickolds and Nick Newman.

FRI 23:00 Tina C (b04b1v8z)
Tina C's Commonwealth of Nations: The Empire Strikes Back
Country music legend Tina C - multi-Grammy award-winner, global peace icon, and US troops pin-up in warzones worldwide - is the living embodiment (and what a body) of soft power.
Fresh from the Commonwealth Games' spectacular opening ceremony, Tina guides a Glasgow audience through her own unique take on the Commonwealth, and why she should be in it. Expect great songs, laughs, and a look at something you've known about all your life from a completely different perspective. Including special guests, obscure facts, and power ballads to bring us all together where ideology has failed. Written and performed by Christopher Green.
“Christopher Green’s Tina C is one of the great comic creations of the age. A genuinely fine country singer, but with a twist of satire and insight which is rare and to be highly prized.” – Stephen Fry
“To misconstrue Tina as a comedy act done merely for laughs is to miss out on a strategic, highly intelligent brand of satire” - The Age, Melbourne
“The political person’s Barry Humphries” – The Guardian
“Better politics than Michael Moore, better legs than Marlene Dietrich” – New Zealand Herald
“Christopher Green….Part politician, part shaman, part sociologist, part healer, but you’ll happily only focus on the fact that he’s an entertainer” – The Guardian
Producer: Jonquil Panting
