Eurovision hero Sam Ryder drops in to bring Ken his new single, plus there's James Patterson's last two Tracks of My Years choices and a final round of PopMaster at 10.30.

Three months after becoming a hero at Eurovision 2022 in Turin, Sam Ryder is back with a brand new single called 'Somebody'. Following his second place heroics - and then his show-stopping performance at The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Concert - Sam's now getting ready to release his debut album 'There's Nothing But Space, Man!', which is due out in November.

James Patterson - the world's best-selling author, with more than 350 million books sold worldwide - chooses the Tracks of My Years all week with Ken. The son of an insurance salesman and a schoolteacher, James grew up in Newburgh, New York, and began writing casually at 18. He was first paid to write as a junior copywriter in New York, but left the world of advertising behind to concentrate on his creative writing. James has gone on to create enduring fictional characters such as Alex Cross, as well as collaborating on famous fiction with President Bill Clinton and Dolly Parton.

James is also hugely passionate about encouraging children to read and has written a range of books for younger readers inspired by his own son. Now James has charted the story of his career for the first time in his memoir 'The Stories Of My Life', which was published earlier in the summer.

The final two tracks James has chosen come from Crosby, Stills & Nash and Dolly Parton.

Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus another round of PopMaster. If you want to contact the show, just email ken.bruce@bbc.co.uk.
