Eduardo Paolozzi, Self-publishing, Neil Gaiman

John Wilson explores the work of the artist Eduardo Paolozzi, known as the godfather of Pop Art. Neil Gaiman discusses his new book Norse Mythology.

As a major new retrospective of the British artist Eduardo Paolozzi opens, John Wilson explores 'the godfather of Pop Art', with reflections from Paolozzi's friend and collaborator Sir Terence Conran, and the artist himself, from a Front Row interview recorded before his death in 2005.

Neil Gaiman talks about his new book Norse Mythology, as he returns to the original sources to create his own version of the great northern tales.

The Pros and Cons of self-publishing, with literary critic Alex Clark and author Mark Dawson, who left a traditional publishing company to self publish and now regularly tops the best-seller lists.
