British singer-songwriter Jessie Ware is famed for her catchy songs and hit podcast ‘Table Manners’. She stops by Midori House to chat to Robert Bound about the making of her new album, ‘That! Feels Good!’.
Mia Levitin and John Mitchinson join Robert Bound in the studio for the definitive guide to what to read in the coming months.
We meet Tarik Saleh, director of ‘Cairo Conspiracy’, a thrilling new film that explores the relationship between Egypt’s religious and political elites, and speak to up-and-coming Bangladeshi musician Dameer. Plus: we head to the Tenderloin Arts Festival to find out how a group of artists is creating a new story for the downtown San Francisco neighbourhood.
For many budding creative types, being tethered to a day job is a sign of not having “made it” in your chosen discipline. But what if the relationship between artists and their day jobs is more complicated than that? On today’s show we explore this dynamic by heading to an unusual exhibition in Texas on the topic and hearing from an array of artists discussing the jobs that they’ve held – or continue to hold – alongside their practice.
We head onto the dance floor as Robert Bound explores the need to carve out spaces to move and what dancing can tell us about ourselves. We meet Emma Warren, author of ‘Dance Your Way Home: A Journey Through the Dancefloor’, and New York DJ and co-creator of celebrated Bushwick hangout Nowadays, Justin Carter. Plus: Monocle staffers on their memorable moments dancing the night away.
Natty Kasambala and Toby Earle join Robert Bound in the studio to present the definitive list of which TV shows you should be watching in the coming months.
We take a trip to southeast London to celebrate the release of the charming new film ‘Rye Lane’. Writers Nathan Bryon and Tom Melia join us in the studio to discuss their working relationship, influences and the desire to create a great romcom. Plus: journalist Rogan Graham shares her response to the film.
The British artist has represented Great Britain at the Venice Biennale, shown work at the Lyon, Sydney and Istanbul biennales and exhibited at some of the world’s finest galleries. We explore his new survey at London’s Hayward Gallery, ‘Extinction Beckons’, which is a bold and exciting collection of installations.
‘Hungry Ghosts’ is a powerful new novel that explores religious tensions, class differences and violence in 1940s Trinidad. Kevin Jared Hosein joins Robert Bound in the studio to discuss his book and how he found a way to tell a deeply human story that feels the weight of colonialism.
We explore the creative and commercial genius that emerged from the street-art movement of 1970s New York. We meet street art historian and creator of a new exhibition at Saatchi Gallery, Roger Gastman, and catch up with some of the scene’s major players, Claudia “Claw Money” Gold, and Fab 5 Freddy.
In this arts special, we visit Jerusalem’s Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design and catch up with legendary art critic and Pulitzer Prize winner Jerry Saltz to discuss his book ‘Art Is Life: Icons and Iconoclasts, Visionaries and Vigilantes, and Flashes of Hope’. Plus: Tracy Chevalier, author of ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’, joins Robert Bound to discuss the new Vermeer exhibition at Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum and her own special connection with the works.
We speak to Mexican film-maker Guillermo del Toro, who is known for making movies underpinned by a sense of the mythic and filled with ghosts and monsters. His most recent film, ‘Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio’ is an intricate stop-motion reinvention of the familiar story. We catch up with the two-time Academy Award winner and the film’s co-director, Mark Gustafson.
Robert Bound is joined by Karen Krizanovich and Fernando Augusto Pacheco to review the surprises, snubs and stars of this year’s Oscar nominations.

Todd Field’s new film, ‘Tár’, tells the story of fêted conductor Lydia Tár (played by Cate Blanchett) and her unceremonious undoing. Robert Bound is joined by critics Jason Solomons and Ashanti Omkar to discuss the aesthetics of the film, Blanchett's performance and the controversial issues at the film’s core.
Robert Bound looks at the cultural year ahead with guests Francesca Gavin, Chris Power and Scott Bryan to explore the very best upcoming art exhibitions, books and TV shows.
We bring you the very best of this year’s Monocle on Culture including literary genius Ali Smith, music industry legend Chris Blackwell and genre-defying composer Benjamin Clementine.
In the latest episode of Monocle’s production for Sotheby’s, we learn about oil and gas pioneers Erving and Joyce Wolf, who were passionate collectors of American art and design. Over a marriage spanning seven decades, the couple amassed a collection of more than 1,000 objects and pieces in their Fifth Avenue apartment – which are now coming to auction. Their son, Mathew Wolf, Sotheby’s senior vice-president and co-worldwide head of 20th-century design, Jodi Pollack, and design historian Charlotte Fiell reveal what makes these pieces so covetable.
