The High Low is taking a winter holiday, so here’s what’s on our bookshelf to devour — whilst the pod is sunning itself with a cocky by the pool, restoring and renewing its energy for a new term in February. The M...

The High LowWhy 1/3 of Gen Z Don’t Drink; & How Feelings Took Over The WorldEveryone’s talking about Kanye’s nutty meeting with Trump in The Oval Office last week; whilst Melania, in her most frank televised interview yet, described herself as the most bullied person in the world.

Also this week we discuss why 1/3 of Gen Z don’t d...

Four ThoughtThe Social Media PoetBrian Bilston, who accidentally became a poet through Twitter, explains the power of social media for poetry. "Poetry on social media is more than a never-ending stream of haiku concerning the changing light of the moon on water, or the beauty of cherry blossom.
