Singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega first came to fame in 1985 with her track Tom's Diner, and later hits like Luka and Marlene On The Wall. Her new studio album, Tales From The Realm Of The Queen Of Pentacles is her first new material in seven years. She'll be performing Fool's Complaint from the album, and talking about her songwriting career, almost 30 years on from that first hit. From the people that bring you Women of the World - a new Festival all about being a man. What does it mean to be a man in the 21st century. We look at the work of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya ahead of next week's Drama based on her life - what's it really like reporting from a warzone. Plus What's black and white and contains threesomes, elephants, and two Daniel Craigs? Tune in and find out. Presented by Jenni Murray Produced by Emma Wallace Output Editor Beverley Purcell.
