    AI continues to find its way into every corner of our lives and even the bank balance of former PM, Rishi Sunak.

    Graham is moved to discuss the strange success of comic writer Tim Key, whom he watched up close on stage in Leeds.

    He follows this up with a new book of history that by being brilliant is missing the point - The Guardian foreign correspondent Jason Burke's new book The Revolutionists - The Story of the Extremists who Hijacked the 1970s.

    In their latest Interview Special, Charles and Graham interview Sheffield artist, Pete McKee.

    About Pete McKee:

    Pete McKee is a Sheffield-born artist whose work greatly reflects and embodies his experiences of growing up on a council estate surrounded by working-class culture and humour. It is this down-to-earth and nostalgic thread that runs through all of his work that has gained him a worldwide following. Pete also runs the Pete McKee Gallery, based at Leah's Yard in Sheffield.
