On the programme this week, trailblazing biker Guliafshan Tariq joins us as she sets off on a history-making journey to become the first Pakistani woman to ride solo around the world. Starting in Edinburgh, her route takes her across the UK, Europe, and beyond. Zara also speaks with John Davidson, who first came to the public's attention at 16 in a groundbreaking documentary about his life with Tourette’s Syndrome. Now, his remarkable story is being retold in the new film I Swear, and he’s here to reflect on life, identity, and being truly seen. Irish music legend Daniel O’Donnell shares with Zara his Spiritual Life. With the release of his new album Now and Then he reflects on four decades of success, his deep-rooted faith, and what keeps him grounded through it all. Zara's Faith Forum panel this week are Dr Yahya Barry, Rosa Murray, and Professor Joe Goldblatt. They will unpack some of the weeks news events from a religious and ethical perspective. In the aftermath of the Manchester synagogue attack, how do we keep our places of worship safe and what are faith organisations responsibilities in promoting reconciliation and peace amid renewed violence and global tension. Who wants to live forever? A Nobel-winning Scottish chemist believes ageing could one day be optional, but what would eternal life mean for humanity? And with Big Brother and The Traitors back on screen, we ask whether anything is truly sacred in today’s culture of oversharing, surveillance, and blurred personal boundaries.
