Michael Donkor and Jan Asante review the film Passing and series Colin in Black and White.

Passing film and series Colin in Black and White reviewed, Booker Prize book group on Richard Powers's novel Bewilderment, and Paul McCartney on Got to Get You into My Life.

Critics Michael Donkor and Jan Asante review actor Rebecca Hall’s directorial debut feature film Passing and the series Colin in Black and White, about former NFL player Colin Kaepernick.

In the fifth of our Booker Prize Book Groups, listeners put their questions to author Richard Powers, shortlisted for the second time for his novel Bewilderment.  He describes it as a story about the anxiety of family life on a damaged planet as well as a kind of ‘planetary romance’.  

Paul McCartney offers candid insight to the creation of Got to Get You into My Life, in the latest instalment of our series Inside the Songs.
