Two hours of music and conversation with a faith and ethical perspective, including an in-depth interview with football pundit Pat Nevin.

"Yes we can - no he didn't", no sooner had he delivered his farewell address than the headline writers were delivering their verdict on Barack Obama's legacy. But what does the concept of a personal legacy mean for us? Ricky talks to Rosa Murray from the Faculty of Education at Edinburgh University and a member of the Catholic Community, and political commentator, Colin MacKay.

Over several weeks, a group of women from diverse ages and backgrounds got to tell their stories by creating Life Books. Our reporter Anna Magnusson spent a morning in the YWCA centre in Glasgow with them as their stories unfolded.

'A Gift of Love' is a volume of Martin Luther King's sermons, published in the UK for the first time. Ricky talks to Rev Iain Whyte. a retired Church of Scotland minister who met Martin Luther King in the 1960s, to find out how rooted his civil rights work was in his role as a preacher.

Recent research suggests Robert Burns suffered from depression, but does knowing that high-profile inspirational people have experienced mental health issues help others? Ricky's joined by Professor Danny Smith of Glasgow University, and Rev Iain Whyte.

The basics of sex education in schools remain largely the same, but campaigners say the social media revolution has changed the sexual landscape, leaving our children vulnerable. Ricky discusses the issues around this divisive topic with Rosa Murray and Goedale Liekens, sexologist, psychologist and Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Population Fund, who is determined to revolutionise attitudes towards sex.

Former footballer Pat Nevin bucked the stereotype as a player by shunning fast cars in favour of art galleries and music gigs. He joins Ricky to talk about his playing life and early influences.
