S2. COVID and the Crisis of Leisure

TWT FM

Welcome back to TWT FM. In series 2 we'll be exploring leisure - in particular, the aspects of life we’ve been missing out on during the pandemic - with episodes on our favourite leisure activities, including dance, football, holidays and more.

You can think of this episode as an introduction to the concept of leisure. We’ll examine what leisure reveals about our relationship to work under capitalism and how different our lives could be if we had access to more free time.

We’re grateful to be partnering with Autonomy for this series - an independent think tank focussing on the future of work and economic planning. You can find their latest research at autonomy.work.

TWT FM is a podcast from The World Transformed. This episode was produced by Charlie Clarke, Sarah Vowden, Aron Keller, Matt Huxley and James Roadnight. We had contributions from Sarah Jaffe, Rhian E Jones, Joe Ryle, Maria Alvarez, Nadine Holdsworth, with songs by Rob Howat.
