This week, Nina is joined by Scottish singer-songwriter Amy Macdonald.

Amy talks to us about how the music industry needs to do more for female artists, why she's supporting Scotland's independent music venues, and how she recorded her new album 'The Human Demands' during Covid times.

She also reveals a surprise connection with one of the internet sensations of 2021 - Jackie Weaver, the star of that now infamous Handforth Parish Council meeting.

Nina is joined by comedian Joe Lycett - formerly known, of course, as Hugo Boss.

Joe talks to us about the importance of access and diversity in the creative world, putting Birmingham on the world stage, and getting back onto the stand-up circuit as soon as Covid allows it.

In episode two, Nina is joined by writer, producer and director Amma Asante - the storyteller behind award winning films like Belle and A United Kingdom, and TV shows including The Handmaid's Tale and Mrs America.

Amma tells us all about her new project which asks could a Black female poet have written some of Shakespeare's work? Amma explains why culture needs all the help it can get right now, and why she should direct the next James Bond movie.

In the first episode of our new series, ITV News Arts Editor Nina Nannar is joined by Sir Michael Morpurgo - the bestselling author of more than 100 children's books including War Horse and Private Peaceful. Nina talks to Michael about his career in writing - which started after a spell as a primary school teacher - and hears from him about writing in bed, surviving lockdown by talking to sheep, and why we need to be cheering for our teachers.
