Getting Better Acquainted episodes

  • GBA 42 Lucy
    In GBA 42 we get better acquainted with Lucy. I met Lucy on my GBA trip to Cardiff. This was the first time we'd seen each other in 10 years. We met in Chapter Arts Centre in Canton, less than 10 minutes from where I used to live. It was a Saturday morning and the cafe was pretty noisy and busy.
    We talk about looking for your place in the world, our experiences of school and university, finding yourself and fitting in. And we talk dating, discussing looking for love, being single and we debate date etiquette.
    Lucy doesn't plug anything.

  • GBA 41 Chris
    In GBA 41 we get better acquainted with Chris. He was my one of my lecturers at university. He talks about academia, journalism, media, the Iraq War and the cuts being imposed by the Conservative/Liberal Democrat Coalition Government. It was recorded on a university campus so it was a trip down memory lane where I faced my past lessons and past prejudices.
    It's a conversation about ideas but also about people. Chris tells us of his journey from plumber to van driver to academic and critic. And he makes the argument for how, in a world so influenced and controlled by the media, media studies is far from being an irrelevant subject.
    This is the first time someone with the same name as a previous guest has been aired. It won't be the last. Hope it doesn't get too confusing!
    Chris plugs:
    His Blog: http://chr1sr0berts.wordpress.com/
    Any work he does for http://www.newleftproject.org/ and http://www.guardian.co.uk/higher-education-network
    And of course his book when it is published. His full name is Chris Roberts so look out for this in the future.
    He also plugs Dan Hind's The Return of the Public:

  • GBA 40 The Interview Process
    In GBA 40 we get even better acquainted with Lily who was in episode 39 and with Karl James who was in episode 38. Lily asks me for advice on an interesting interview project she is considering and I ask Karl James for notes on how to make what I do on GBA better.
    We cut between these two conversations about conversations, these two interviews about interviews, and learn a lot about the art of talking and the craft of dialogue.
