Doublespeaking

Birth. Creation. Labour. It's a heady mix! Today I'm in conversation with Sara de Benedictis. Sara is about to begin a lectureship in media and communications at Brunel University and in this episode we discuss birth, live-tweeting and One Born Every Minute. Join us for the final episode in the first season of Doublespeaking.

Sharing is caring. Sharing is pure, virtuous, selfless. So does all this apply in the new and wonderous sharing economy in which we're all now supposed to participate? Today I discuss the word sharing with Dr Zeena Feldman, lecturer in Digital Humanities at King's College London.

Everyone's an entrepreneur these days right? If not a titan of business then a titan of our lives, our jobs, our own bodies? Today I discuss the word entrepreneur with Christina Scharff, senior lecturer in Culture, Media and Creative Industries at King's College London. We discuss brands, injuries and oh yes, power suits.

Everybody's got talent right? Every nation, every person, every person's dog? Today I chat with Natalie Wreyford, research fellow from the University of Southampton about the word talent and it's slippery, magical power.

Work, work, work; such a simple yet powerful refrain. Today I talk to Jamie Hakim from the University of East Anglia about work, bodies and austerity. Oh, and Rihanna and Britney.

'Clean' eating now has a bad rap but what does it even mean anyway? Today I talk with Rachel O’Neill, research fellow at the University of York about rainbow bowls, Deliciously Ella and everything that clean is not.
