This week, Emma's going on a very personal journey with her picks, revisiting the debate on war between Einstein and her great-grandfather, Sigmund Freud, opening up a “mum in a box”, and witnessing how Ravi Shankar and George Harrison met over a broken sitar string. Plus, The Food Programme takes us to Smethwick in the Midlands to understand the transformative power of Desi pubs, and we hear the truly incredible story of the soundtrack to someone waking up from a coma - which led them to join Coldplay onstage years later. Presented by Emma Freud. Presenter: Emma Freud Producer: Anthony McKee Production coordinators: Caroline Peddle and Caoilfhinn McFadden
