Star Trek Director JJ Abrams
βI found the original series a little static, a little talkie and a little exclusiveβ - JJ Abrams.
Interview with director JJ Abrams who explains that he wasnβt always a confirmed 'Trekker'. Also Daft Punk discuss their new album Random Access Memories and glamorous opera diva Angela Gheorghiu talks about singing Pucciniβs La Rondine. Matthew McConaugheyβs new film is written and directed by Jeff Nichols, who discusses the authentic setting of his Huckleberry Finn-esque movie on the Mississippi river in the US. Weβve also got George The Poet, a 22 year-old Londoner, who is the hottest thing in spoken word in the UK today. The award-winning Pakistani author Mohsin Hamid tells us about the role of fiction in culture. And, with an exclusive session, we introduce singer-songwriter John Fullbright, whose debut album From The Ground Up has been warmly received.
