Turkish author and Nobel prize winner Orhan Pamuk is in conversation with Sara Sheridan.

Janice previews Benedict Cumberbatch's The Child in Time, Foo Fighters' Concrete and Gold, and new book The Life of a Song with Nicola Meighan, Paul Whitelaw and RJ Bayley.

Sofar Sounds is a global community where guests and artists come together to experience music in an intimate and respectful setting at a secret concert. This year's event is happening on Wednesday, featuring The National and Ross Leighton in Edinburgh, and Frightened Rabbit, Martha Ffion and The Fratellis in Glasgow. We have Lucy Evans from Sofar Sounds and Amnesty International's Kate Nevan to tell us more about it.

Sara Sheridan is in conversation with Turkish novelist, screenwriter, academic and recipient of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature, Orhan Pamuk.

Cellist Calum Ingram talks to Janice about being Tony Visconti's Glasgow Unsigned Hero in his new Sky TV programme featuring Bob Geldof and Stuart Copeland of The Police, in which they scour the UK and Ireland for new musical talent. Of course Janice discovered Calum years before Tony Visconti... we play one of his session tracks from when he performed for her in 2014.

Paul Whitelaw, Nicola Meighan and RJ Bayley make up this week's Tuesday Review team. This week they cast their collective steely gaze over Benedict Cumberbatch's new BBC One drama The Child in Time, The Life of a Song - a collection of Financial Times stories behind 50 of the world's best loved songs edited together by David Cheal and Jan Dalley, and the new Foo Fighters album Concrete and Gold. The critics also give us their top cultural picks for the week.
