Two hours of music and conversation from a faith and ethical perspective, asking what the week's events say about values and beliefs.

Businessman, entrepreneur and philanthropist Garreth Wood, the son of the billionaire oil tycoon Sir Ian Wood, joins Richard to discuss his many philanthropic endeavours and stepping out from his father's shadow to carve a name for himself in the business world.

It's amazing what you can uncover browsing in bookshops. For Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ reporter Huw Williams he picked up an unremarkable blue folder tucked in among the books and discovered a story about one of the founding members of SCIAF, the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund.

In a time when we're exposed to 'imagery overload' via television, online and in the newspapers, how powerful is the still image today? Richard talks to war photographer David Pratt, Foreign Editor at the Sunday Herald, and Dr Idrees Ahmad, lecturer in Digital Journalism at Stirling University.

Fear is an emotion we've all experienced. It's a natural response to dangerous situations and threats. But in this current climate it is becoming particularly heightened. Dr Idrees Ahmad and David Pratt are joined by Dr Lesley Orr acting chair of the Zero Tolerance Trust, to discuss how best we can control our fears in an ever-shifting and changing world.

This weekend sees the start of 'The Only Way is Ethics' festival in Glasgow, an 8-day ethical festival featuring music, film, food and politics. It will also feature the vegan festival 'Vegfest' and founder Tim Barford joins Richard to talk about the ethics underpinning veganism.
