The yes men stunt the world: Jonathan speaks with Mike Bonanno (real name Igor Vamos) of the Yes Men, the culture jamming duo who pull elaborate, funny and sometimes disgusting stunts on international corporations to draw attention to injustices.

Going undercover: Some say that Günter Wallraff invented undercover journalism. He has spent his life disguising himself as everything from a Somali refugee to an arms dealer to expose the injustices of society. He has been sued, jailed, tortured, spied on and exposed to serious health risks all in the line of his work. As he tells host Jonathan Groubert, at 67 he has no intention of stopping soon.

Essay - Getting the story isn't always worth it: Twenty years ago a terrorist group in Lebanon threatened to execute Joseph Ciccipio. The journalist Peter Kavanagh persuaded Ciccipio's sister to give an exclusive interview for his CBC television programme. It's something he regrets to this day. He explains why.

Sachsenhausen was a concentration camp not far from Berlin.
