** 5x15 returns in November with a glittering line up. Join us for stories of shipwrecks and cataclysmic car races; the search for justice, the wisdom of animals and secret lives.

David Grann is a staff writer at The New Yorker who has written about everything from New York City's antiquated water tunnels to the hunt for the giant squid. His many books include the international best-seller Killers of the Flower Moon. His new book, The Wager, tells a mesmerising story of shipwreck, mutiny and murder.

Kassia St Clair studied the history of women's dress and the masquerade during the eighteenth century at Bristol and Oxford. Her first book The Secret Lives of Colour was a top-ten bestseller, a Radio 4 Book of the Week and has been translated into over a dozen languages; her second, The Golden Thread, was a Sunday Times Book of the Year and was shortlisted for the Somerset Maugham Award. Her new book,The Race to the Future, tells the incredible true story of a quest against the odds that shaped the world we live in today.

Paul Caruana Galizia became a reporter after his mother Daphne was assassinated and since then has won a British Journalism Award, a Media Excellence Award from the Association of International Broadcasters, a silver medal at the British Podcast Awards, and a bronze medal at the Radio Academy ARIAs. With his two brothers, he won a Magnitsky Human Rights Award and an Anderson-Norman-Lucas Award for. His book A Death in Malta is a spellbinding account of the shocking murder of his muckraking mother and the search for justice that has reverberated far beyond their tiny homeland.

Rosamund Young runs Kite’s Nest Farm with her brother Richard and her partner Gareth; on the farm nature is left to itself as much as possible and the animals receive exceptional kindness and consideration. Kite’s Nest Farm produces beef and lamb from 100% grass-fed animals which are butchered and sold in the farm shop. Young is the author of The Secret Life of Cows, a Sunday Times bestseller. Her new book, The Wisdom of Sheep & Other Animals, peeks into the surprising private lives of some of our most familiar animals.

Adam Sisman is a writer specialising in biography, living in Bristol, England. He is the author of Boswell's Presumptuous Task, winner of a National Book Critics Circle Award, and the biographer of John le Carré, A. J. P. Taylor and Hugh Trevor-Roper. Among his other works are two volumes of letters by Patrick Leigh Fermor. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and an Honorary Professor at the University of St Andrews. "Mr. Sisman has an ideal biographical style: inquisitive and open, serious yet not severe," Dwight Garner wrote of Sisman's life of Hugh Trevor-Roper in the New York Times: "I’d read him on anyone.”
