This week - we say good-bye. It's our last program but we're going out with boats, baboons, and a bang. We'll touch on some of the stories we've brought you over the years, some of the places we've been, and some of the strange and sublime people we put into your radio. Along the way, we'll hear some of the moments that stopped us in our tracks. And hear some untold stories from our our correspondents. We saved the best for last.

How does a hairdresser recruited for work in Dubai, wind up slaving for the U.S. military in a war zone in Iraq? We look at the plight of those known as "The Invisible Army." In Uganda you can inherit a wife, marry more than one, and beating them isn't much of a crime. And changing that is proving problematic. Then, a young award-winning reporter on shoe leather, social media and his first time in a free-fire zone. And, Florentine steak, well-aged parmeggiano, and an egg-rich gelato to die for.

Also on the program, Pakistan's Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, on documenting the grisly abuse that just won her an Oscar. And, the Buddhists of Tibet grapple...
