Culture is Ordinary

Episodes
Now What?: Culture is Ordinary ... episode 16

Virtually Normal: Culture is Ordinary ... episode 15
37m · PublishedOk, normal, again. But wait. This time it's new normal ... again. But wait, wait. This time is virtually normal. Aren't we all just living in a simulation? The 'new normal' is just a shift from the old normal that wasn't 'real' to begin with. So wasn't it only virtually normal and this is a new virtuality?
Sneakerheads: Culture is Ordinary ... episode 14
27m · PublishedOk. So the whole episode isn't *just* about sneakerheads but a good chunk of it is. Not so much fan boi-ing about sneakers, but talking about why such ordinary things can become elevated to being so much more.

20m · PublishedAuto-Mediation: Culture is Ordinary ... episode 12

Speaking of Feminism: Culture is Ordinary ... episode 8
48m · PublishedWhen we set out to talk about fourth wave feminism and media and feminism more broadly, our conversational took a much more context rich turn.

Gaming: Culture is Ordinary ... episode 7
59m · PublishedIn this episode we consider (video) games. How to 'read' a game is more than just textual. How is it made? Who is it for? How do we value the act of playing and the (financial) rewards on the 'consumer' and the 'maker' ends?
