Cambridge film

festival

Taking place

from Thursday

to 26 October,

Cambridge fi lm

festival prides

itself on attracting

the big names

without losing its

sense of intimacy.

Previous success

stories have

included showing

an early 1996

short by a certain

Christopher Nolan,

while this year’s

lineup includes

the likes of the

Steve Carrell-

starring tennis

drama Battle

of the Sexes;

Tangerine director

Sean Baker’s The

Florida Project;

and the Angelina

Jolie-produced

Afghanistan-set

animation The

Breadwinner

venues around

Cambridgeshire.

Hit Parade

This monthly

podcast from

pop critic Chris

Molanphy

explores various

facets of the

music landscape,

from the Beatles

monopolising

the Billboard

charts in the 60s

to the charity

megasingles of

the mid-80s.

This month’s

edition is the most

interesting, looking

at how in the 90s

labels squeezed

out the single

by focusing on

overpriced albums

by the likes of

Alanis Morissette

(pictured, below).

Cults

This podcast

from the hosts

of Serial Killers,

Greg Polcyn

and Vanessa

Richardson,

explores what

really goes on in

a cult, as well as

trying to work

out why cult

leaders behave

that way in the

fi rst place. Earlier

episodes focus on

Charles Manson,

while another

investigates

the decidedly

odd Marshall

Applewhite and

Bonnie Nettle,

AKA “the UFO

two”. Available on

Apple podcasts.
