Suzi Quatro grew up in Detroit in a very musical family. It was, at the age of six, after seeing Elvis perform on television that made Suzi decide music was to be her life. She's also an actor, poet, has a new album called 'Face to Face' with KT Tunstall, is on tour...and she once broke Alice Cooper's nose. Shortly after they got married, the best-selling author Amy McCulloch and her new husband headed to South America for a six-month backpacking adventure. Then, one night, Amy heard that a cabin had suddenly become available on a ship heading to the Antarctic. She was desperate to take it. He wanted to stay. This thrilling real story was the spark for the inspiration behind her new book 'Midnight'. Picture the scene...Sheffield in the mid-nineties. Two cheeky teenage lads sitting together in the school canteen tucking into burger and chips for lunch or maybe a bacon sandwich. Since then, Henry Firth and Ian Theasby are the plant-based chefs behind the hugely successful “BOSH!” and whose new cookbook 'Meat' sees them make bacon from bananas and chicken from peas. All that plus The Inheritance Tracks of journalist, broadcaster and BBC Explainer–in-Chief, Ros Atkins - and we join Nicky Dorrington ...In Nature. Presenters: Nikki Bedi and Jon Kay Producer: Ben Mitchell

When author Amy McCulloch set out travelling South America with her husband and partner of 10 years, she didn't think she'd return from her trip a single woman, ready to experience some new adventures.

Our latest read by Amy McCulloch is a high-altitude thriller that will truly take your breath away, it's called Breathless. Cecily Wong is in over her head. She's come to Manaslu, the 8th-highest peak in the world, to interview world famous mountaineer, Charles McVeigh on the last leg of a record-breaking series of summits. She's given up everything for this story–her boyfriend, her life savings, the peace she's made with her climbing failures in the past–but it's a career-making opportunity that could finally put her life back on track. When one climber dies in what everyone else assumes is a freak accident, she fears their expedition is in danger. And by the time a second climber dies, it's too late to turn back.  She's stranded on a mountain in a remote region, and has quite the battle for survival against a killer who is picking them off one by one!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Elisabeth Easther reviews Breathless by Amy McCulloch, published by Penguin Random House NZ

We have music and chat from the Swiss-Tamil singer Priya Ragu who has been shortlisted in the BBC Sound of 2022 Poll – joining Adele, Jessie J and Celeste. She tells us how her music plays homage to her heritage and is a fusion of traditional Tamil music, RnB and Soul, which she uniquely calls ‘Ragu Wavy'. The number of refugees leaving Ukraine has reached a million. If you were listening last week you'll remember the heart-breaking interview we did with Olena Symonenko. She had decided to flee Kyiv, and was down in a bunker with her 6 year old son. She had left her flat, which she had lived in as a child and all her adult life: and just as well she did, because her block of flats had been bombed and was on fire. She sent us a picture. We've been keeping in touch with Olena all week, tracking her journey and she's now in Poland. Sharmadean Reid is the Founder and CEO of The Stack World.
