Taylor Swift returns with The Tortured Poets Department, a surprise double album that features 31 tracks that fans are saying is her most intimate and lyrically revealing yet. Joining Tom Sutcliffe to discuss the work are Times music writer Lisa Vericco and Satu Hameenho-Fox, whose new book Into The Taylor-Verse is out next month.

The Intercity 125 train, the Kenwood mixer, the Morphy Richards iron, the Wilkinson triple razor, bus shelters, the black cab, and the Parker 25 pen all have one thing in common \u2013 they were designed by Sir Kenneth Grange. As a new book about his life and work comes out, we went to his house to meet him.

Hettie Judah joins us fresh from the famous international cultural exhibition, the Venice Biennale, now in it\u2019s 60th year. She\u2019ll be reviewing the highs and lows.
