Mississippi, 1946. Sister Rosetta has changed the face of gospel music with her exuberant, electric guitar-playing style. Shunned by strait-laced church folk for performing in nightclubs and glorying in rhythm and blues, she's persuaded the saintly young singer Marie to join her on a tour of the segregated southern States.

Kylie Pentelow says she grew up in a big family which was filled with love and a strong hard working ethic. This she says provided the foundation to her career as a journalist - and what a career. From the Bath Chronicle to the BBC and then to ITV where she not only presented ITV West Country's 6 o'clock show but the national ITN news as well. But when Kylie became a mother her whole outlook on life and work changed. She decided to go freelance and today, alongside looking after her son Edward, she regularly presents BBC News, Radio 4's Woman's hour and BBC Radio 5 live. In this conversation we discuss what it really feels like to present the national news, the importance of accepting setbacks and how a hot air balloon changed Kylie's life. Kylie spends much of her time interviewing people, so for me it was an honour to interview her – and what an interviewee she is. She's warm, open, raw, brilliant and funny. I've known Kylie for many years now and I've personally learned such a lot from her – so I'm delighted now to be able to spend some time with her and you.

What's going on inside Labour? After the prime minister's recent u-turn on winter fuel allowance, a previously fixed policy, and hints of more u-turns to come, it's becoming less and less clear what Labour are offering.A leaked memo implying divisions and unhappiness at the direction of travel means some in the party may be looking at deputy prime minister Angela Rayner, as credible opposition to Keir Starmer.

Turncoats, opportunists … or just idealists whose bosses lost their way?  Defecting to a new party is one of the momentous decisions an MP could ever make. Years of loyalties, backroom deals and deep friendships are lost in an instant. Patrick Baker speaks to MPs who have wrestled with the decision to switch party, to discover what it is really like.  Shaun Woodward, who left William Hague's Conservative party to join Blair's New Labour in 1999, recalls the dirty tricks used try to prevent his defection and how the move precipitated a huge media storm. Former Ipswich MP Dan Poulter, who defected from the Tories to Labour last April, explains how he lost faith in the Conservatives (just before an election) and solicited advice from those on the other side of the aisle, including veteran MP Jon Cruddas. Helen Pidd, host of The Guardian's Today in Focus podcast, was given special access to defector Christian Wakeford in Parliament, and witnessed first-hand the reaction from Tory MPs furious at his perceived betrayal after the Bury South MP crossed the floor to join Labour. Brexit stalwart Douglas Carswell recounts his decision to join UKIP, which helped to pave the way for the EU referendum — while David Cameron's former communications chief Craig Oliver sets out his strategy for spinning a subordination in the ranks. And Libby Wiener, who spent twenty years as a political correspondent for ITV News, looks back at the Westminster drama of multiple defections. She explains how these rare events are becoming more common, in an era where voters' own party allegiances are less secure. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Gino D'Acampo is known for his extrovert personality and on-screen innuendos.  The Italian celebrity chef has become a regular on UK television with his cheeky chappy persona, appearing on major shows such as ITV's This Morning, Gordon, Gino and Fred's Road Trip and Family Fortunes.  However, an investigation by ITV News found the star has been accused of sexually inappropriate behaviour spanning 12 years, allegations D'Acampo has firmly denied. Was enough done to protect junior staff on set, and are D'Acampo's days as a regular television fixture now over? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
