Horrible Histories' Terry Deary on the Roman Empire; Madness frontman Suggs; Philippines relief effort; Afghanistan opium trade; Jumbo iceberg; Anne Hegerty with The Moan-In.

Horrible Histories author Terry Deary on the truth about the Roman Empire, why he believes e-readers should be given away free, and his impassioned plea for teachers to be allowed to nurture young talent without excessive interference.

Head of aid organisation World Vision NZ Chris Clarke gives the latest from the Philippines on the relief operation in the wake of the devastation left by Typhoon Haiyan

Madness frontman Suggs chats about his peripatetic childhood, Red Wedge, performing on Top of the Pops, and playing live surrounded by marksmen on the roof of Buckingham Palace for the Diamond Jubilee.

Plus the growth in Afghanistan's opium poppy fields; John McCririck loses his age discrimination case against Channel 4 Racing; and the iceberg the size of Singapore that could threaten shipping lanes after breaking free from an Antarctic glacier.

And 5 live listeners get it off their chest as Anne Hegerty of The Chase judges their mundane complaints in The Moan In.
