In 1973 Mexican anthropologist Santiago GenovΓ©s decided to create an experiment to find out what drives people to commit acts of violence. He put a group of men and women from different parts of the world on a raft and cast them out to sea. But what happened was not what he expected. Emily Webb hears from three of the women who took part - FΓ© Seymour, Edna Reves and Maria Bjornstam. This story was originally broadcast in May 2019.
Anthony Garone was a guitar-mad kid growing up in 1990s Arizona in the US. Having mastered many of his heroes' work by the age of 16, his dad set him a challenge to play an 'impossible' song, Fracture by British prog-rock band King Crimson, that wouldΒ consume him and his family for the next 22 years.
