In today's podcast, in the week when Roman Polanksi's new film of Robert Harris's novel, The Ghost, is released, Claire Armitstead discusses the film with the Guardian's critic, Peter Bradshaw.

She also talks to the journalist Simon Hattenstone, who ghostwrote Ronnie O'Sullivan's autobiography and the autobiography of Dwayne Brooks (the boy who was attacked with Stephen Lawrence on the night Lawrence was murdered), about the art of the ghostwriter. And John Crace digests the relationship between Wayne Rooney and his ghostwriter, Hunter Davies.
