Chasing Celebrity

February 1st, 2008 by Steve Bowbrick

Over on Radio 2 Paul Morley has made a clever two-parter about celebrity. I hesitated to put it up actually because, well, it’s not quite as good as I was hoping it would be. Don’t get me wrong, the show’s thoughtful and funny and there are loads of excellent contributors (and Paul Morley, obviously). I think it’s just too long. Each part is an hour long. Whose idea was that? Anyway, don’t let me put you off. Here’s part one and part two.

Presenter: Paul Morley
Producer: Paul Kobrak
Listen: [MP3] [Real]

    This program reminded me of Clive James’ “Fame in the 20th Century”. It was more lightweight, but I think celebrity is more lightweight than fame. I think the editorial style fitted with the subject matter.
