On this week鈥檚 Arts hour, British and Ethiopian poet and writer Lemn Sissay joins Nikki Bedi to talk about his children鈥檚 book 鈥淒on't Ask The Dragon鈥�

Nikki goes 鈥榰nder the bonnet鈥� of film-making with actor turned director Rebecca Hall to discover the joys and the problems of shooting a film in black and white.

We鈥檒l dissect the sound of cinema through composer Nathan Johnson鈥檚 work on Guillermo del Torro鈥檚 Nightmare Alley.

We hear from the American TV writer and producer Jason Katims, whose new series, As We See It, is about three roommates who are all somewhere on the autistic spectrum and are played by neurodiverse actors.

Also on the show, Nikki talks to New Zealand comedian Rose Matefeo.

And there is music, improvised on the spot, by South African cellist and composer Abel Selacoe.
