Digital Human series 8 starts 12 October!
Thursday October 01, 2015 @ 08:24 PM (UTC)We have a cracking lineup of six sterling episodes in the Digital Human stable coming atcha every Monday at 4:30pm UK from 12 October!
This series, we’re looking deeper at the things that are too human to be digital… but somehow are. Want revenge? Trying to solve a mystery? The Cartesian Split is under the microscope, or perhaps that’s just our imagination. And there’s also a special programme for Halloween to creep you out just when you think it’s safe to go online.

Digital Human series 7 on BBC Radio 4
Tuesday April 14, 2015 @ 09:05 PM (UTC)Hello world! In this series of BBC Radio 4’s Digital Human, we’ve gone a bit ethereal. The six episodes kicked off this week with Secrets – in which we discover whether social media is responsible for exposing a secret of my own past, kept hidden for 25 years.
Secret holders share why and how they have used the internet to disclose their most intimate or well kept secrets – how does a compulsion to confess in a public setting effect those who the secret is about? And can this audition of secrets online naturally lead to revealing them offline?

[Radio 4] Hidden Histories of the Information Age
Monday October 27, 2014 @ 01:59 PM (UTC)Hidden Histories of the Information Age aired last week on BBC Radio 4. It was a five-part series about five of the objects on display at the new Information Age gallery at the Science Museum (yes, where the Queen sent her first tweet from), and it was an absolutely brilliant way to discover more about the social impact of the infrastructures of the many communication media that we take for granted today. As I say in the script, the objects in the exhibition represent cultural moments from the last 200 years – not just technological innovations.
