Haitians have become the spokespeople for a new ad campaign which exposes the irony of the popular hashtag #FirstWorldProblems. Also in the programme we learn what President Kennedy didn’t know during the Cuban Missile Crisis; music from the film Argo; and a reporter's vivid memories of the mercurial King Sihanouk of Cambodia.
