I remember thinking the reason 'we' liked the Olympic Ceremony so much was because it marked the moment where 'our' culture had come top.
We/our meaning, I guess, mostly people like me; white, male, rich, middle-aged, metropolitan, educated, digital, a bit techy, a bit media-y, with a non-southern chip on our shoulder. Or is that just me? (WEIRD)
Increasingly this makes me feel uncomfortable, I'm the establishment. That's bad.
But, on the other hand, it means Radio 4 are making many more programmes aimed directly at me, which is obviously brilliant for me.
Recent favourites, which you might enjoy, if you're like me, of even if you're not:
Tom Armitage on writing, learning and thinking in code.
Aleks Krotoski on Codes that Changed the World.
