We welcome back US author Ben Fountain to reflect on the rise of Donald Trump and talk about his book ‘Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk’, which is now a film by Oscar-winning director Ang Lee.

Dan Tickner

Journalist and music specialist Dan Tickner is creating a new magazine called ‘Recorder’, which will focus on just one artist per issue – beginning with David Bowie. He joins the team to talk through the idea and how sometimes a little less can mean much more in publishing.

Chapter 4

Mark Craig

This week the world lost US astronaut Eugene Cernan – the last man to set foot on the moon. To mark the life of a space pioneer, we listen again to a chat from last year with documentary-maker Mark Craig, whose film ‘The Last Man on the Moon’ focused on the work of Cernan and his fellow Apollo astronauts.
