The best of the world's arts, film, music and literature brought to you every day. Presented by Harriett Gilbert

In a special programme Harriett talks to some of the writers involved in this year's Cultural Olympiad. Over a hundred poets from all over the world have gathered on London's South Bank for a poetry parnassus, The Strand talks to just a few of them, from Jamaica, Botswana and Cambodia. Plus Jeanette Winterson on the time she spent in the Room for London, a wooden 'boat' overlooking the Thames where artists have been on retreat this year and Chilean art collective Casagrande reveal how they rained thousands of poems over London.
