Presented by Kirsty Lang. Sex and the City columnist Candace Bushnell talks to Kirsty about her new book One Fifth Avenue, a modern-day story of old and new money, sexual politics and real estate theft. Lloyd Newson, founder and artistic director of award-winning physical theatre company DV8, discusses the group's latest work, To Be Straight With You, a verbatim work about religious intolerance and sexuality, performed by a multi-ethnic cast. British jazz pianist Zoe Rahman and her brother Idris join Kirsty to reflect on making the album Where Rivers Meet, which includes the sounds of rickshaw bells and horns from the streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh, and a Bengali song with echoes of traditional British tunes.
