This week, host Isaac Butler talks to documentary theater makers Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen, whose plays include The Exonerated, about the criminal justice system, and Coal Country, about the Upper Big Branch mine disaster in West Virginia. Blank and Jensen explain how documentary theater works, from interviews with subjects to the final product, where actors perform interview excerpts verbatim. After the interview, Isaac and co-host June Thomas discuss why documentary theater is such a great way to communicate important information to an audience.

Those hoping to be among the first to own Apple's $999 iPhone X could be left empty-handed come November 3, a new report suggests. Apple initially targeted the November release date for the highly-anticipated device amid rumours of delays, with pre-orders to begin in October – but, the report claims Apple still has yet to begin final production of the handset. After meetings with supply chain companies in Asia, analyst Christopher Case says the iPhone X is facing an'incremental delay in the build plans,' with production now set to begin mid-way through next month. The devices will ship on November 3. The price will be $999 (£999) for the 64GB version and $1,149 (£1,149) for the 256GB version. In an investor's note obtained by Barron's, Raymond James chip analyst Christopher Caso reveals iPhone X production is, as many have suspected, about a month behind schedule.
