Nikki Bedi hears from Irish actor, writer and director Sharon Horgan, whose new Apple TV+ show is Bad Sisters.

The Ghanaian-American director Nana Mensah tells Nikki about her new movie, Queen of Glory, in which she stars and also wrote.

Plus, we hear from Carl Bradshaw, one of the stars of the iconic Jamaican film, The Harder They Come.

The musician Rebecca Lucy Taylor, also known as Self Esteem, performs and talks about female authenticity and ambition.

Australian director Amiel Courtin-Wilson discusses his extraordinary documentary, Man on Earth, which follows the last week in a man’s life.

American documentary maker Immy Humes talks about her new book, The Only Woman, in which she has collated archive photographs of lone women in majority, male environments, ranging from 1862 to now. Each photo reflects on the visibility and tokenism of women.  

And there's music from the Ukrainian harpist Alina Bzhezhinska and the Hip Harp collective.

Plus South African film critic Guy Lodge joins Nikki in the studio.
