I've Forgotten Now Who I Used To Be is an album from Ghana's so called Witch Camps. The Italian-Rwandan film maker Marilena Delli Umuhoza and the Grammy award winning producer Ian Brennan recorded music made by women accused of witchcraft and ostracised. Most are guilty of nothing more than being older, destitute or of having disabilities. The couple specialise in documenting the music of the marginalised from prisoners in Malawi to genocide survivors in Rwanda. It is, they say, the music of pure emotion - join us to hear it and how it was made.

The right to protest should be on an equal footing with the right to communal worship under lockdown rules. That's the view of the Joint Committee on Human Rights this week, and they've called on the Government to take urgent action accordingly. Is protest really as sacred as worship? And if so where do we draw the line on what is acceptable behaviour in the name of a cause we truly believe in? William Crawley discusses the ethics of protest with two women of faith and finds out just how far they would go for their cause.

Pope Francis has just approved a Vatican ruling that catholic priests cannot bless same-sex couples. The statement, from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, said that any such blessings are invalid in the eyes of the church. It has confused LGBT+ Catholics who tell the programme they are disappointed Pope Francis would endorse this when he has said he supports civil rights for gay partners. Is Pope Francis a reformer after all? William discusses this with the papal historian John Cornwell, the author of a new book about Pope Francis - Church: Interrupted.
