Lail Arad e JF Robitaille sono, rispettivamente, inglese e canadese. Una cantautrice e un cantautore che, conosciutisi in un tour italiano condiviso, hanno deciso di iniziare a scrivere e suonare insieme. Li abbiamo ospitati per raccontare il loro sodalizio artistico e ascoltarli suonare dal vivo per noi.

Sometimes you stumble upon a perfect combo and feel slapped upside the head by the obviousness of it. Chocolate and peanut butter; brie and apples; bacon and well, anything. Imagine a singer-songwriter, more specifically - please take a moment to envision JF Robitaille and let's pair him right up with one of the purest, most gently arresting voices I've had to pleasure of falling upon in ages: Lail Arad and you have what happened to me backstage at Waterstock. They shared a story, they laughed, they made me feel at once thrown into a beautiful 1950's era Spanish romance movie (neither are Spanish, btw, its really about the 'air' of a person, it was like she laughed in slow motion) and exceedingly envious of finding a combination that makes music touching and real anew. We've Got it Coming is the latest release from this duo, each backed with their own musical history and ample talent. You will hear it at the top of the show, followed by their hilarious and frightening story of being stuck in the mountains with a very strange stranger. I'll allow you a moment to mentally nod Jim Morrison on that last note and then turn your attention to what is new in Canadian music and you will have these two at the top of your playlist. Check them out, follow them, find them live because I did and I'm a better music fan for it. JF Robitaille and Lail Arad = beautiful. Thank you guys.

Join members of the Man Booker International Prize panel just days after the announcement of the shortlist of the competition that celebrates the best in international fiction. We’re on brand new territory tonight as, for the first time, the £50,000 prize will be awarded for a single work of translated fiction. The event will feature prize administrator Fiammetta Rocco, chair of judges Boyd Tonkin and judge Daniel Medin. It will be chaired by Lucie Campos and will be introduced by a musical performance by superb singer-songwriter Lail Arad, to coincide with the release of her second record and her book of lyrics The Onion, with exclusive text from Lail and photographs by Flo Kohl.
In the very first of two special Man Booker International Prize 2016 podcasts, we celebrate the 2016 shortlist that takes readers around the globe and to the frontier of fiction. Host Joe Haddow delves into this year's shortlisted books with two members of the judging panel - writer, journalist and the 2016 chair Boyd Tonkin and author Tahmima Anam. Joe also talks to Catherine Taylor, Deputy Director at English PEN and Walter Iuzzolino from Channel 4's Walter Presents about the rise in foreign fiction on our screens and the impact this is having on translated fiction. Then we head to Paris for an exciting event from Shakespeare & Company and hear singer- songwriter Lail Arad's song 'The Onion' which reminds Boyd of whittling down the submissions with his fellow judges. Join in the conversation about the shortlist and let us know your winner predictions @ManBookerPrize #FinestFiction
