Listening in the social media age

Music Matters

Available for over a year

Following recently published research claiming we now have a lower attention span than that of a goldfish, Tom Service looks at the influence of the social media mindset on our listening habits and explores attention spans in the digital world with Twitter's Alyson Gausby and Zeena Feldman from King's College London. Also the psychologist and neuroscientist Daniel Levitin talks about the social function of music and how we can use it to control the pace of our lives.
