Huw Lemmey one on one

For the fifth episode of One on One, I talk to writer Huw Lemmey in his flat in East London. Huw’s work can be found online at the New Inquiry, Rhizome, and the Verso Books blog (where he used to work), and his first book, Chubz, was released last fall by Montez Press. In our chat, Huw and I touch on three major themes: geolocation in apps like Grindr and how it shapes the city for those who use it — on the bus, in the cafe. We speak on how a psychogeography of the city and the daily lives become increasingly layered through the use of technology. And finally, we touch on the ways in which print media differs from this technology and how information can find different ebbs and flows through each form of media.
