## TUNE INTO A NEW PODCAST 

### The Big Steal 

 

 

 

This is one of the best new podcasts we’ve heard this year. It’s about the theft of Russia’s resources by a clique of men associated with the Kremlin, starring businessman Mikhail Khodorkovsky and president Vladimir Putin. With very different sets of ideals, the pair were always destined to clash – and there could only be one winner. Find out how Putin put Khodorkovsky in jail for ten years, stole his company and took a big step to becoming the richest man in the world.

The Tate Modern is hosting a special Tate Lates on Friday 29th October from 6-10pm. This month’s theme is ‘Power to Change’ where you can tune into a range of talks, take part in workshops and visit exhibits about the climate crisis. Highlights include a talk on environmental activism at 7pm from Kajal Odedra, a ‘climate change speed dating’ class, and an upcycling workshop. Don’t miss the Tap Takeover on the first floor where you can try a selection of craft beers by Toast Ale and feast on street food from local vendors – think plant-based burgers and sustainable BBQ dishes.

## BOOK AHEAD 

### Arkham Asylum 

 

 

 

Tickets for this immersive experience go on sale this Friday. Arkham Asylum is an original story, inspired by Batman and the DC Universe. Warner Bros. has created an epic space with theatrics to transport you into a psychiatric hospital. Details – including the location – are being kept under wraps until next year, but we know how the story starts: Batman is missing and Gotham City is in tatters. Crime is running rampant in the streets and civil unrest is festering on every corner until ambitious psychiatrist Jeremiah Arkham tries to restore order through his ‘pioneering’ treatments. The citizens of Gotham City are being summoned by law to Arkham Asylum for examination and you have to unlock the hidden storylines to find out how to save them – and the city. Batsuits are optional.

## TAKE YOUR MATES 

### The Salt Room 

 

 

 

We’re big fans of Two Tribes brewery, so were excited to hear they’ve got themselves involved with Young’s to create this bar and music venue in Islington. Housed in what used to be the John Salt pub, The Salt Room stocks Two Tribes beers (including Metroland Session IPA and PowerPlant Natural lager) and will have new seasonal releases to try every month. Food comes in the form of caramelised beer wings, loaded burgers and curly fries, while live musicians and top DJs will play at weekends until 2am.

## DITCH THE WEEKEND PAPERS FOR THIS 

### Crossroads By Jonathan Franzen 

 

 

 

Jonathan Franzen’s latest novel came out earlier this month, but if you haven’t had a chance to dive in, now’s the time to do so. It’s December 1971 and a storm is brewing over Chicago. Russ Hildebrandt, the associate pastor of a liberal suburban church, is on the brink leaving behind an unhappy marriage – unless his wife, Marion, who has her own secret life, beats him to it. But when their eldest child Clem returns home from college with his own secret that’s set to devastate the family, all plans of freedom are put on hold. A gripping book about a Midwestern family navigating difficult relationships and questionable moral ground.
