Patti Smith, Tom Harper, Doctor Sleep reviewed - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

Patti Smith, legendary musician and poet, looks back at a troubled year, 2016, in a new memoir, Year of the Monkey.

Director Tom Harper discusses his new film The Aeronauts set in 1862, starring Eddie Redmayne as a pioneering meteorologist and Felicity Jones as a balloon pilot, who attempt to advance knowledge of the weather and fly higher than anyone in history.

As a horror film The Shining is a hard act to follow but Doctor Sleep attempts to do just that. Ewan McGregor stars as Danny, the psychic little boy from the 1980 film, now grown up. Kim Newman assesses the revisit to the hotel.
