This week: to celebrate its 20th anniversary, Alice Pung's memoir Unpolished Gem is getting a reissue and the award-winning author joined us in studio to reflect on its journey (and also how many times she's had nits); we reminisce on the long lost era of Rock Eisteddfods; Flick Ford gave a ringing review of Spanish film Deaf/Horda; Khalid Abdalla dropped in to chat about his deeply personal stage show, Nowhere; we learn about letting it all hang out in Sweden and book reviewer Sean O'Beirne bangs the drum for Halle Butler's satire Banal Nightmare.
