Ian's guests include the novelist Eimear McBride, who won the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction and the Goldsmiths Prize for her startling debut novel 'A Girl is a Half Formed Thing'. Her latest book is 'The Lesser Bohemians', which uses her distinctive fractured prose to examine overwhelming first love.

The comedian Ross Noble's lastest stand-up show is 'Brain Dump', a celebration of stream-of-consciousness comedy writing.

The latest poet in our 'Three Score and Ten' series is Rachael Allen. Rachael's first pamphlet of poetry was published by Faber and she is the poetry editor of Granta Magazine. Three Score and Ten is part of Radio 3's 70th season, celebrating seven decades of pioneering music and culture since the founding of the Third Programme.
