The American writer Claudia Rankine is best known for her poetry, which has won critical acclaim and international fans. She discusses her play The White Card, which was written during Donald Trump’s Presidency and examines race and privilege in America and beyond.

Front Row is hearing from all the museums shortlisted for this year’s Museum of the Year and tonight it’s the turn of the Museum of Making in Derby. Geeta Pendse takes a walk around the museum and hears about how it’s showcasing the UK’s industrial heritage.

Last month Paramount Plus launched in the UK, a new TV screening service to rival Netflix, Apple TV and Prime Video.

Media analyst Tim Mulligan joins Nick to explain our new viewing habits.
