Presented by Jenni Murray. American fraternity culture on campus; Women in Business: franchising; Nordic food; and The First Time.

Presented by Jenni Murray.
In October 2010 several aspiring members of an esteemed fraternity at Yale University marched across its 300 year old quadrangle, lined up outside a women's hall of residence, and chanted "no means yes". What impact does such behaviour have on young women undergraduates? We look at franchising in our Women in Business series; with Danish restaurant Noma topping the list of the world's best restaurants for the second year running, we look at the Nordic tastes and food culture and how they're taking off in Britain; and The First Time - how have attitudes to losing your virginity changed over the years?
