Pablo Picasso's impact on the art world was sensational, but what impact did he have on the people around him?
His relationship history contains some problematic moments, to say the least, so we are asking if you can - or even if you should - separate the art from the artist.
Joining Kate today is author and Harvard professor, Suzanne Blier, to help us navigate this and find out more about Pablo Picasso.

Sex Work in Soviet Russia
July 14
•41m
After the Russian Revolution in 1917, sex work was a prime example of what capitalism did to society.
Under communism, sex work would no longer need to exist in society.
Spoiler: it very much still existed.
How were sex workers treated in Soviet Russia? Why were they glamourised? And what's the sex industry like in Russia today?
Joining Kate today is expert on all of this and more, Professor Emily Schuckman Matthews, to take us back to Soviet Russia.
