Weekender: The Studio sweeps the Emmys, the lingering power of The Names, and a Springsteen rarity revealed
Description
Claire Nichols from The Book Show joins the team to talk through the biggest name in comedy at the moment: The Studio. With a record-breaking 13 Emmys at the 2025 awards, we share our takes on what's made the show such a critical darling.
Sky makes the case for The Names, by Florence Knapp, a novel that hinges on a sliding door moment, but is actually a deep examination of the impact domestic violence leaves on a family and what it means to be a good person.
Claire's had a chance to read the new Ian McEwen, What We Can Know, and says it may be one of his best.
And Ce's thrilled to find 'the bigfoot of Bruce Springsteen recordings' finally surfacing after 40 years.
Plus a tribute to Robert Redford: actor, activist, and giant of the film industry.
