In a week of Olympian triumph and despair, we hear why we we are so obsessed with winning high status, how the writer James Baldwin鈥檚 lost archives inspired an unlikely love affair and what it took to transform a dance craze from the projects of New York to actually becoming an Olympic sport. And if you need something to cool yourself down this hot and humid start to August, maybe time to revisit the ice bucket challenge? Or at least its origins, as Witness History found out. It鈥檚 all gold standard stuff, so grab a place on the podium and have a listen.
