The Thread Series 5: A 'How To' Guide

Every Tuesday, 7pm-8pm, from 8th March – 26th April, on Resonance 104.4fm.

In our fifth series of broadcasts The Thread presents a suite of loosely interrelated conversations, each springing from a set of instructions to our listeners. We take familiar items and experiences such as an elaborate meal, a camouflage pattern, a pugilist’s punch or a terrorist sighting and examine how they can be assembled, produced, performed or encountered. With our ‘How to…’ series we try to understand aspects of culture by finding out what makes them work, both practically and conceptually.

The season is going to be themed around ‘How To…’ – more details to come!

All the best from The Thread team.
