Welcome to a Friday special! This week’s bonus episode features an interview with Labour MP Claire Hughes. Claire ignored a lump in her breast, having thought she was ‘too young’ to have cancer. She found out she had triple-negative breast cancer last October. After a mastectomy and courses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, she has since been given the ‘all-clear’.

We've made it to our eleventh book club edition (we think)! This time, we've been reading 'Interpreter of Maladies' by Jhumpa Lahiri. Was Jane won over by the short story form? (We're fairly confident you already know the answer to that!) Plus, the wonderful Laura Hackett, deputy literary editor and fiction editor across The Sunday Times and The Times, joins Jane and Fi to share her thoughts and expertise.

Fi is back on Monday, but Jane is off on holiday for a week, meaning Eve is back in the hot seat.

Thank you so much for all your enthusiasm, engagement and interaction. We hope you'll join us for the next one.

Welcome to a Friday special. Today, we bring you an interview with former prisoner Richard.

Our prisons are full. Our reoffending rates are some of the worst in the western world. Self harm and suicide are rising across the prison estate. The early release of prisoners whose offences still terrify their victims is front page news - what is going right in our jails?

It's a complicated problem to solve - and you may not think that yoga fits into the puzzle. But it can do. The Prison Phoenix trust is a charity that provides yoga and meditation on the prison estate - as well as mentoring schemes where prisoners are put in touch with people to write to on the outside. The aim is to help rehabilitate prisoners so they don't go back inside - and to help in a transition from life in jail.  

Richard has benefitted from the programmes offered by The Prison Phoenix Trust. You can find more information here: https://www.theppt.org.uk/

If you've inhaled all this week's episodes of Off Air (rightfully so) and you're looking for something else to get your ears around, how about some true crime from our sister podcast, The Story?

Introducing Ghost Mountain, a new three-part series from The Story.

Seventy-one-year-old British tourist Lorna McSorley went out for a walk near South Africa's Ghost Mountain. She never returned. 

In the first part of this three-part investigation, we travel to the remote, superstitious heart of KwaZulu-Natal to retrace Lorna’s final steps. As the police search hits a dead end, bizarre rumours begin to emerge - including talk of witchcraft and an illicit trade in body parts.

Host:Jane Flanagan.

Producer:Harry Stott.

Executive Producers:Taryn Siegel and Kate Lamble.

We want to hear from you - email: thestory@thetimes.com
