Author of the book 'A Beautiful Mind' behind the film of the same name, Sylvia Nasar talked about her new book'Grand Pursuit: The Story of Economic Genius', a story about history's famous economic ideologists and what they were thinking, and writer Patrick Ness explained why adults needn't be apologetic about reading teen fiction.

Imagine if doctors started spreading rumours that your hair, your blood or your body parts would bring them mystical power and wealth, simply due to the colour of your skin.  Sound like a horror film?  Well in Tanzania, some witch doctors are perpetuating this very myth about albinos which has resulted in people killing or mutilating over a hundred albinos in the past 6 years.

For Josephat Torner, an albino from Tanzania, the only choice is to take action: "If societies think of me as sub-human today then I need to look for a solution to change society so it will accept me".  And so starts a dangerous trek for Josephat across the country to confront the very people who fear, persecute and kill albinos and convince them that he is no different to them and that albinos are also human beings.  Lucky for us, Harry Freeland captures Josephat's inspiring journey of courage, resolve and hope in his documentary In the Shadow of the Sun which is screening at the closing night of the Human Rights Arts and Film Festival in Melbourne.

Right Now Radio presenter, Evelyn Tadros, has the honour of speaking to Harry and Josephat while they are on tour in Australia about why these myths are being perpetuated, the challenges albinos face in Africa and how they plan to use this film to save lives.

In the Shadow of the Sun is being screened on 23 May in Melbourne, 28 May in Sydney, 3 June in Canberra, 4 June in Brisbane and Perth.

Joost Bakker is one of the great forward thinkers of the food industry, and today he stopped by to talk about his Farm by Joost project that is planned for a building on Collins St. The urban environment is actually quite well suited to growing food, and with the growth of our suburbs encroaching on traditional farmlands it's time to consider alternatives. Oddly the project has been rejected by the Melbourne City Council, so it's up to state planning minister Matthew Guy to decide whether the project can proceed.

Speaking of rooftops (segue!), Vanessa Kwiatkowski and Mat Lumalasi are in their third year of running Melbourne City Rooftop Honey, which now looks after 75 hives around Melbourne and the 'burbs. We spoke about how critical bees are to agriculture as a whole, and a recent move by the EU to ban neonicotinoid insecticides that have proven to be harmful to bees. We think the Australian government should do the same, and also have a close look at whether glyphosate-based herbicides such as Roundup cause biological harm to insects.

It's Good Beer Week! The fabulous Dave and Cam from Mountain Goat joined us in-studio, along with Eric Ottaway from Brooklyn Brewery who's in town on a pretty enviable work trip. We spoke about how the burgeoning Australian craft beer industry is also reflected in America, and the differences in beer styles and ingredients encountered as you travel around the world.
