The Guardian Hay festival has finally begun, and the first of our daily podcasts from the fields features two of the festival's most high-profile speakers.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu talks to the Guardian's Gary Younge about the private man behind the Nobel prizewinner, why he remains doubtful of Jacob Zuma, and why, when it comes to religious fundamentalism, it is not faith, but the faithful, that are the problem.
On the literary side, meanwhile, Sarah Waters talks to Claire Armitstead about a fascination with ghost stories that has its roots in her own childhood, why she found herself drawn back again to the 1940s and what it is she loves about manipulating the genre form.
Finally, John Crace kicks off his tour of Hay stereotypes with a look at the Hay Local, and Giles Foden tells us why he thinks of himself as Don Juan.
