This week, in the spirit of the season we’re witnessing chilling tales of ghosts, vampires, ghouls… and kids getting their own back. Derren Brown pulls back the curtain on Houdini’s possible past of espionage, and Daniel Kraemer reframes epilepsy as a radio producer living with the condition. Plus, we take a trip to Glasgow’s drum and bass scene, and hear how club culture is influencing a new take on Shakespeare, involving Hamlet and Radiohead.
