Episode description

Aleks Krotoski asks if moving our lives online has given us a false sense of normality during these extraordinary times.

For those of us lucky enough to be able to work, shop and socialise there our connections to the digital world have been a lifeline, keeping us in touch with what normality is or at least was. If lockdown had happened 15 years ago it might have been a very different story.

Aleks explores the experiences of people who used technology to try and feel normal to see where it works and where it doesn't as well as investigating our whole concept of 'normal' and why we cling to it so desperately.

Producer: Peter McManus Research: Elizabeth Ann Duffy and Anna Miles
