Malcolm Gladwell is the author of five international bestsellers and was named one of the 100 most influential people by Time magazine. In this podcast, recorded from a London exclusive live appearance here at Southbank Centre, Gladwell discusses his latest book, Talking to Strangers, with broadcaster and former barrister Afua Hirsch. In this fascinating and entertaining talk, the author examines the misinterpretations and misunderstandings at the heart of the tragic case of Sandra Bland. He also asks, why are human beings so bad at detecting lies? And discusses taking risks in his writing. But there is also a lighter side to this podcast as Hirsch and Gladwell discuss how most rich people are really terrible at being rich, why no-one wants to fight a naked pensioner, and suggest that if we are to have meaningful televised political debates, they should not be between politicians, but between their former spouses.…

Daniels talks of his approach to writing the book and his childhood want to be an actor, before going on to discuss his role in the Star Wars films.

The much-loved comedian, actor and writer Sir Lenny Henry joins comedian Romesh Ranganathan in this special edition of our Book Podcast, as the two talk about Henry’s remarkable career and his new memoir Who Am I, Again?

A great champion of marginalised voices, Henry also highlights the need for greater BAME representation not just on screen, but crucially among those who choose what gets to be seen on screen.…

The bestselling author of The Hate U Give presented an homage to hip-hop and the power of storytelling in a discussion of her second novel, with Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff. She talked about On the Come Up, the story of fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you; of the struggle to become who you are and not who everyone expects you to be; and of the desperate realities faced by poor and working-class black families. "It took me a couple years to decide to write that story but it came from a place of anger, hurt and frustration but also from a place of hope and hopefully a way to celebrate when the world doesn't do it for us." ANGIE THOMAS…
