Episode description
This week we review - Alex Edelman's Peer Group - Series 2 Personal
The so-called Millennial generation has been much maligned in the press for being lazy, entitled, vain, venal, self-involved, easily offended little emperors.
Alex Edelman thinks these criticisms are baseless.
This episode is about Alex's relationship with social media and how it has insinuated itself into his life. From the power of Twitter to the perils of Instagramming your sandwich, Alex takes a personal look at a very millennial preoccupation.
We also hear from friends of Alex - American comedians Brandon Wardell and Jak Knight, journalist Rebecca Nicholson and cultural commentator David Burstein.
