The Skipping Sikh; David Baddiel; Gospel Music

The Queen hailed Captain Tom Moore, the 100-year-old who raised millions for NHS charities by walking laps of his garden, as an "inspiration" this week after he died of coronavirus. We talk to 73 year old Rajinder Singh who was inspired by Captain Tom to become the "Skipping Sikh" - he gained worldwide acclaim for the exercise videos he made to cheer up his community in isolation and ended up raising money for the NHS as well.

Maybe more than at any other point in history, we are talking now about race, ethnicity and equality. But how do we define who belongs to an ethnic minority and who is a target of racism? In his new book, Jews Don't Count, the comedian and writer David Baddiel argues that anti-Semitism is being left out of the public conversation about racism.

And is Gospel Music in crisis? A meeting held this week discussed just that. After the high of The Kingdom Choir singing at the Royal Wedding in 2018, how is the music developing to attract younger singers whose musical interests lie outside gospel?
