BBC 4 have an hour's programme dedicated to Ursula K Le Guin, the science fiction author, amongst other titles.

See https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000bh0x

10 pm Sunday, but will also be of iPlayer following its broadcast.

Her books are hardly the genre norm, but are entertaining reads nonetheless.
