  A distraught Palestinian doctor processing his son's suicide finds common ground with the Israeli investigator who lost his best friend in the attack. 
  When an explosion devastates a peaceful neighborhood, Dr. Rami Amar receives news his son was the perpetrator. Shocked by their son's apparent radicalization, Dr. Amar and his wife, Lyda struggle to make sense of their loss, which is further intensified by the investigator, Major Shani of the Israeli Defense Forces. For Shani, this is personal. His childhood friend was killed in the attack. Following protocol, Shani confiscates Dr. Amar's travel documents and destroys his home, and the undercurrent of distrust between the two men is unmistakable.  
  With only questions and no answers, Dr. Amar decides to fix up a dilapidated local school to get the stone-throwing youths off the streets and into the classroom. But when it's impossible to acquire proper supplies, he turns to an unlikely source of help: Major Shani. To keep the students in school, learning lessons of peace, not hate, Dr. Amar promises after-school soccer matches. However, to keep his word, Dr. Amar needs even more help from Shani to break through a seemingly unmovable obstacle. Will Dr. Amar ever find out what really happened to his son? Will the men be able to unite for a common cause, or does the pain of past events run too deep?

  Samson Agonistes, the 'dramatic poem' by John Milton, was published in 1671, three years before the poet's death. Written in the form of a Greek tragedy, with the Chorus commenting on the action, it follows the biblical story of the blind Samson as he wreaks his revenge on the Philistines who have imprisoned him. A powerful subject, with a personal resonance for the blind Milton, it is a perfect work for the medium of audiobook where poetry and drama can be balanced equally. This production, adapted for BBC Radio 3, broadcast in 2008 and directed by John Tydeman, features Iain Glen in the title role, with Samantha Bond as Dalila, Philip Madoc as Harapha and Michael Maloney as the Messenger.

Having narrowly escaped hanging at Nuremberg, Speer emerged from twenty years at Spandau gaol, as he thought, a changed man. But even as he publishes his bestselling accounts of the Third Reich, the extent of his complicity in Nazi crimes returns to haunt him - and his long-suffering family.

  Tender Buttons consists of multiple poems covering the everyday mundane, Stein's experimental use of language renders the poems unorthodox and their subjects unfamiliar. It is renowned for its Modernist approach to portraying the everyday object and has been lauded as a "masterpiece of verbal Cubism". Its first poem, "A Carafe, That Is a Blind Glass", is arguably its most famous, and is often cited as one of the quintessential works of Cubist literature.
