The Z-X Spectrum episodes

  • Young People: Patience, Perspective, Perseverance.
    Genuinely fascinating conversation with podcast co-host Brandon Relph and recent university graduate, Rebecca Longhurst.
    FOCUS: We discuss young people in work/employment, the 'work ethic', impatience, social media, anxiety, commitment, robots and machine learning, social aspect of work, and explore if some young people are missing the value of experience and grafting, but still expect to get the 'promotion' in an instant?

  • Ep 2 Extract: Are young people missing the point of work?
    A short extract from the upcoming podcast, The Z-X Spectrum, when we talk about young people in work, 'perfection', and pressure to succeed. In this extract, Rebecca Longhurst (aged 20) and Brandon Relph (18) talk about the value of work experience in low skilled jobs, questioning if it is missing from many young people's lives.

  • Your Consumption Of Content Becomes A Premium.
    In our first podcast, The Z-X Spectrum, we kick off with Brandon’s choice of subject: The Love Island effect.
    Pretty much deconstructing the whole phenomenon, we explore what impact the UK’s ITV2 show has on social media, streaming and traditional media, product placement, consumerism, the podcast - and ethics - asking is the Love Island pure escapism, or a little more complex?
    We also touch on Facebook and their Cambridge Analytics fine, advertising in the ‘Hey Alexa’ world, buying yourself out of all advertising and newspapers… even Dr Who gets a mention.
    Plus how this year’s other huge TV event, the World Cup, created a sense of unity in England after a period of feeling quite the opposite.
    Hope you enjoy!
