What Is Community Media?

04/21/20 • 3 min

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.

Inspecting Morse

You know that feeling when you discover a fictional world and it just feels like you've always known it? And the characters, plots and setting fit perfectly, like your favourite jacket, one that you never tire of wearing. That's what this episode is about, as Laura persuades Neil Atkinson to turn his attention away from The Anfield Wrap, and talk about their shared love of the world of Inspector Morse: both the novels of Colin Dexter, and the TV world led by John Thaw.
