Summary

There are lots of questions left unanswered in today's pod. Fi is steering the ship solo - exploring whether TV characters should say goodbye? What the Off Air robot should look like? And who (or what) is Super Trouper?


And Sebastian Faulks discusses his memoir ‘Fires Which Burned Brightly’ with Royal Editor of The Times, Roya Nikkah (who’s helping out on the live show this week).
