On today’s show:
- Given that Symphony NB has just announced a fall series of performances, including one by Andrew Miller with a performance in front of a silent movie, I thought I’d give you a listen to when I spoke to him and Nadia Francavilla about the time they did this with the classic The Cabinet of Dr Caligari in 2016.

- This weekend, join Alison Taylor for the launch of her debut novel Aftershock at Westminster Books, Sunday afternoon at 2pm.
- “Shared trauma has driven them a world apart; they will need to find each other again to begin to heal. Nightmares still haunt Chloe thirteen years after a fatal tragedy led to the disintegration of her family. Her mother, Jules, has a busy tech career, a long history of chronic pain—and little time for Chloe. After Chloe drops out of university to travel for a year, Jules’ OxyContin dependency quickly worsens.Aftershock follows their parallel journeys: Jules struggles to regain control of her life, while Chloe, after a rocky visit with her estranged father in New Zealand, resolves to go off the map and spend some time alone, travelling. When Jules suddenly can’t find her daughter, the feeling is all too familiar. Mother and daughter will need to address old secrets and the emotional impact they have wrought before they can reconcile with each other, and, finally, with themselves.”
