Artist Grayson Perry joined a panel discussion on the Future of the Arts, as part of UCL's Festival of the Arts.
The panel also included: 
• Professor Lisa Jardine (UCL Historian and Broadcaster) 
• Professor Malcolm Grant (UCL President and Provost) 
• The Rt Hon David Willetts MP (Minister for Universities and Science) 

Chaired by the Dean of Arts and Humanities, Professor Jonathan Wolff.

The panel discussion examined the broad definition of what we mean by the 'arts', from fine art and performing arts to its more general use in academia, 
incorporating also the humanities, including literature, philosophy and history. The panel also questioned whether the arts are threatened by recent cuts in funding.

We're heading into the dark underworld of crime and trials in this episode of the Penguin Podcast, so prepare for a little sleuthing, a little violence and a lot of intrigue!

Leading us into the world of espionage and conspiracy is the master of the spy novel himself - John le Carré - with two short extracts from the audiobook edition of his new book A Delicate Truth.

Following that we have Paul French, author of Midnight in Peking, talking about his new Penguin Special, The Badlands: Decadent Playground of Old Peking.  Fact is stranger than fiction in his tour of old Peking's criminal underbelly, and there are certainly a few sinister characters that could warrant a book all on their own!

We then have an interview with debut author Austin Ratner whose book, The Jump Artist, explores the remarkable true story of Philippe Halsman, a photographer of the greatest names of Bohemian Paris, and his involvement in a shocking murder trial that shook Europe.

Finally, we have an audiobook extract from James Oswald's Natural Causes, read by Ian Hanmore. *Warning* This book opens on a crime scene, so if this extract causes adverse symptoms of extreme fear, call the special Natural Causes Helpline on 0800 083 0414.

A Southern novel of family and antiques from the bestselling author of the beloved Saving CeeCee Honeycutt

Beth Hoffman’s bestselling debut, Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, won admirers and acclaim with its heartwarming story and cast of unforgettable characters. Now her unique flair for evocative settings and richly drawn Southern personalities shines in her compelling new novel, Looking for Me.

Teddi Overman found her life’s passion for furniture in a broken-down chair left on the side of the road in rural Kentucky. She learns to turn other people’s castoffs into beautifully restored antiques, and eventually finds a way to open her own shop in Charleston. There, Teddi builds a life for herself as unexpected and quirky as the customers who visit her shop.  Though Teddi is surrounded by remarkable friends and finds love in the most surprising way, nothing can alleviate the haunting uncertainty she’s felt in the years since her brother Josh’s mysterious disappearance. When signs emerge that Josh might still be alive, Teddi is drawn home to Kentucky.  It’s a journey that could help her come to terms with her shattered family—and to find herself at last.  But first she must decide what to let go of and what to keep.

Looking for Me brilliantly melds together themes of family, hope, loss, and a mature once-in-a-lifetime kind of love. The result is a tremendously moving story that is destined to make bestselling author Beth Hoffman a novelist to whom readers will return again and again as they have with Adriana Trigiani, Fannie Flagg, and Joshilyn Jackson.

Looking for Me by Beth Hoffman, read by Jenna Lamia

I am a singer/songwriter and use music to connect to Spirit, to explore emotions and to connect with my audience and myself. Sometimes I go outdoors and record everyday sounds of life (e.g. people talking late at night on a London Bus or the sounds of my feet on the shingles at Aldeburgh Beach). Other times I'll go to Sacred Sites and sing and record the sounds of my voice and the wind. I write and perform with piano, guitar, shruti and light percussion (and bowls).
