This hour, we talk to management expert Bruce Tulgan about his new book, The 27 Challenges Managers Face: Step-by-step Solutions to (Nearly) All of Your Management Problems. We learn about some of the challenges managers come up against in the workplace, and find out some of the best ways to handle them.

A little later, we also talk to Banning Eyre about Afropop Worldwide’s latest project, which takes a look at the mysterious, musical nation of Madagascar.
