A lesson in tolerance ... via culture

This week, you’ll hear about a hybrid culture - the Peranakans of Singapore. There’s great music, listener letters, and of course, the quiz. Don’t miss it!

Hello everyone!

This week’s quiz is about the eighth of May – a holiday in France. Other countries celebrate this day too, although some on the seventh, and some on the ninth. But my question to you is, why is 8 May a holiday? What are the French – and others – observing?

You have until 6 June to send in your answers; the answer and the winners will be announced on the 12 June programme.
