05/03/20 • 30 min

Following on from our previous podcast on community media with Dr Paddy Hoey, we have an extra bonus episode for you. This is based on a conversation Laura had in 2019 with Paddy about activism in the digital age, based around the book he'd just written about Irish republican media activism.

What Is Community Media?

For the third episode of Season 2, we speak with Dr Paddy Hoey, journalist and senior lecturer in Media, Film and Television at Edge Hill University. On the table is a discussion about the role that community media plays today, when digital means have caused our communities to become divergent and moved away from the mass public spheres we have long been accustomed to.

Digging The Archives #1

Lockdown has prevented us from going to galleries and museums in person - but it hasn't stopped us from accessing culture online. In a new series, Laura and Christopher pick out some forms of digital culture archives that have been keeping them entertained while remaining socially distanced. The first episode in this series features queer zine archive QZAP, and the University of Liverpool's interactive Viking Age In The North West app.
