This week, Julie Hesmondhalgh provides an audible antidote to what might feel All Too Well like a Cruel Summer, so prepare to Shake It Off. We hear about the measurable seismic power of Taylor Swift, follow a group of teenagers living without their smartphones for a week and celebrate midwinter in the frozen south.

Presenter: Julie Hesmondhalgh Producer: Anthony McKee and Elizabeth Foster Production Co-ordinator: Pete Liggins
