Colloquiapedia

In the latest episode of Colloquiapedia, host Jamie Gavin speaks to online measurement pioneer Gian Fulgoni about the term algorithm. Given the amount of time we all spend scrolling these days, algorithms have come to govern our everyday lives, in terms of what we see, hear, and even how we feel... but what exactly are they? And how are they shaping our perceptions of the wider world?

In the latest instalment of Colloquipedia, we look at design... a term that has come to mean many different things to many different people, from creative endeavours to systems and organisational processes. We're joined by David O'Coimin, creator of the Nook Pod and other physical world products, who talks us through his definition and interpretation of this wide-reaching discipline.

In the latest instalment of Colloquipedia, we branch out from the confines of media industry terminology to explore the world of Tenpin Bowling... a recreation and sport that we know has existed for at least 200yrs and has a widespread presence across the UK, but still remains a mystery to many! Host Jamie Gavin is joined by Chair of the British Tenpin Bowling Association (BTBA) Geoff Brown, as we find out more about where the activity currently stands today 🎳

From the glossies adorning our supermarket shelves, to the digital pages that clamour for clicks, magazines have played a huge part in reflecting - and shaping - our culture for 100yrs+. But just what is a magazine today? Has the printed incarnation of these titles managed to successfully migrate online? Can Instagram be considered a form of magazine? And just where does a magazine end and a book begin!? We're this week joined by Founder of MagCulture, Jeremy Leslie, to find out...

As Colloquiapedia returns from a short break, we're this week joined by Editor-in-Chief of Press Gazette, Dominic Ponsford, to talk about the term 'Journalism'. Is Joe Rogan a journalist? Is Gary Lineker? And has our great Faustian bargain with social media delivered citizen journalism, but at the price of drowning out facts with fiction? 

This week on Colloquiapedia, we're joined by Southport MP Patrick Hurley, to look at the term 'Democracy' - what is it, why is it such a heavily scrutinised term right now, and how is it interpreted and implemented today? 🧩 

This week the Colloquiapedia podcast looks at the term 'Television', joined by British Screen Forum CEO, Pete Johnson. 

On this week's episode of Colloquiapedia, Host Jamie Gavin is joined by Coronation Street and Grantchester Actress, Melissa Johns, as the two look into the term 'acting' and how it's interpreted in society today... 🎭
