This week we consider what's at stake in a dispute between one of the world's largest publishing houses, Hachette, and the world's biggest book seller, Amazon.

Sam Hall is also known as the DJ Goldierocks, her radio show The Selector broadcasts in over 40 countries and sheβll be in the studio telling us what the book industry could learn from the world of music.
We're also looking at what it means to be a βcontent creatorβ in the Internet age. Weβll hear from Julia Donaldson, the author of childrenβs sensation The Gruffalo, and weβll consider how you can make it all pay with the comedian Colm OβRegan.
