Craig gets us to the half-way point with author and broadcaster Lemn Sissay, who chats about World Book Night. Lemn was the official poet of the 2012 London Olympics, and has an MBE for services to literature.

Lemn will be joining host Bobby Seagull for a hybrid celebration of World Book Night, as 84000 books are donated.

Craig also plays a tune for you in 'Wednesdays, I'm in Love'. Fancy requesting a song for someone or something you love this week? Perhaps there's a wedding on the cards? A friend who deserves a special shout out? Get in touch and let us know at craig@bbc.co.uk
