Hay festival: Desmond Tutu speaks to Gary Younge

We couldn't squeeze all of Gary Younge's fascinating interview with South Africa's archbishop Desmond Tutu into today's Haycast, so here it is in full. Tireless, passionate but never without humour, Tutu is one of the major figures of our age: a Nobel peace laureate, an unstinting campaigner for human rights around the world and an inspiration to campaigners against injustice everywhere.

In a frank and unbuttoned interview, he talks about his hopes for America's first black president, uncovers what motivated his high-profile attack on ANC leader (now South African president) Jacob Zuma, explains why he can't resist making trouble - and claims that, beneath the public persona, there's a shy man struggling to get out.
