8:40 Phillip Toledano - Capturing Memory
When photographer Phillip Toledano's mother died, the full extent of his elderly father's memory loss was revealed. Phillip decided to make his father's life beautiful for as long as the time he had left. He's published a photographic essay of those last few years and he talks to Chris Whitta about the pain and joy of that time - and what he describes as the "constantly surprising" response to the work.
'Days with My Father' by Phillip Toledano is published by Hachette.
9:06 Mediawatch
Mediawatch this weekend looks at two very different topics generating complaints about their coverage in the media lately. We'll hear about the sensitivity surrounding reporting of Middle East affairs - and why many on opposing sides say media treatment isn't fair or balanced. And Mediawatch also looks at the final outcome of Paul Henry's put-down of singing star Susan Boyle. Was it just bad taste? Or something more serious?
Produced and presented by Colin Peacock and Jeremy Rose.

11.05 Ideas: The Recycling of Cycling Culture
Ideas explores the growing trend towards utility cycling - that's cycling which is not primarily for sport or recreation, but simply an everyday mode of transport. We talk to Hastings mayor Lawrence Yule about his plans to turn Hastings into a model cycle-friendly city; Jason Penny of Wellington's Mamachari Bikes which is importing secondhand Japanese bicycles by the container load; and historian Iain Boal, who takes the long view and talks about the rise and fall and rise of utility cycling.
