Bryan Adams’ new album, plus writer Damian Barr

Canadian rock and pop legend Bryan Adams on his new studio album – Roll With The Punches. He talks to Kirsty Wark about the inspiration for his lyrics, creating music with old gear, AI, and – surprisingly – duetting with Luciano Pavarotti.

Folk singer Emily Portman was left in disbelief this summer when an AI-generated album was released under her name without her permission. Dr Hayleigh Bosser and Emily discuss artificial intelligence and the rights of musicians.

With the Venice Film Festival in full flow, journalist Hannah Strong gives a glimpse behind the scenes at some of the hits – and the political undercurrents – on the Lido this year.

And Damian Barr shares the true story behind his latest novel The Two Roberts, an exploration of the lives of Ayrshire artists and lovers Robert Colquhoun and Robert MacBryde.
