2015-10-11: Jarvis chats to photographer and film-maker Seamus Harvey about his collaboration with PJ Harvey and their new book, The Hollow of the Hand. His photography and her poetry chronicle a series of journeys they've made to Kosovo, Afghanistan and Washington DC. They were both fascinated by the ways places are changed by war or poverty — how human life goes on, yet also the normal rules of life don't apply. We also hear recordings of PJ Harvey reading her poems. Jarvis asks listeners to suggest a song about a special place. And we mark National Coming Out Day. Birthdays: Elmore Leonard, Andrew Logan, Art Blakey, Tony Kinsey, Rodney Marsh, Bobby Charlton, Dawn French, Daryl Hall, Tom Zé and John Nettles.
