The last episode of the fourth series of BBC Radio 4’s Digital Human broadcast on Monday. It was a storming series – twice on Radio 4’s Pick of the Week (Altruism and Value) and once included as one of Radio 4’s best podcasts of 2013 on their upcoming Advent Calendar (Dark). Molto congrats to the production team, Peter McManus, Victoria McArthur and Elizabeth Ann Duffy.

[BBC World Service] The Culture of Gaming: this Saturday!
Thursday August 16, 2012 @ 07:15 AM (UTC)This weekend I return to the topic that I cut my journalistic teeth on: computer gaming. After five years actively avoiding the subject all together – having burned out on the networking events that happened in strip clubs and the offensive press releases that landed in my inbox – I’m on a mission to find out whether the computer games culture has evolved in that time into something that celebrates and respects its artform and influence.

[Woman's Hour] Communication Overload
Friday December 30, 2011 @ 11:25 PM (UTC)On 30 December, I took part in a discussion about information overload on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour.
Here’s the blurb:
Communication OverloadMidnight on New Year’s Eve is the time when the most text messages are likely to ping around the world to our loved ones. And as we’re in the middle of the festive season we’re all contacting family and friends. With the relentless march of new technology it seems we could be reaching critical mass when it comes to communication overload. What is the brave new world of technology doing to our family and work relationships. And what does it hold for us in the future?
