What we talked about.
Russell Davies talks about radio, PowerPoint, public life, football, community and the internet as something to muck about with rather than merely optimise. The conversation asks what older media still teaches us about attention, shared experience and the difference between an audience and a real community.
This episode explores:
- Why did Radio 4 shape Russell's sense of the world more than almost any other technology?
- What does PowerPoint reveal about the way organisations actually think?
- Can radio still create shared experience in an age of personalised feeds?
- How do you keep listening to institutions you often disagree with?
- What is the difference between building an audience and building a community?
- Why might mucking about with the internet be a serious way to understand it?
