This week, we’re asking – did the internet kill off counterculture? That’s what Stewart Lee is investigating on Radio 4. However, it did help spark a second-hand clothing revolution from Lithiuania worth 5 billion euros, and pin down the location of a hiker stranded in remote Norway. Plus we’re hearing a challenging account of motherhood in Arundhati Roy's latest written work, and the little joys of being a mother in the poetry of Holly McNish.
