Description:

Today we have a comedian, a nun and an undertaker’s beautician.

Mark Steel says that when there’s a crisis afoot, while everyone else is panicking the comedians in the room are busy finding the funny side. This Mark’s done, with a book about what he calls his adventures in cancerland.

The remarkable Sister Libby Osgood, worked for NASA before she became a nun. Quite the career path that.

And Jayne Lownds - who brought her expertise as a high-street beautician into the family funeral business.

Also today the annual pancake race still being run more than 550 years after it started - and the Inheritance Tracks of Radio 1 DJ and boardgame designer Matt Edmondson.
