This week we’re rejoined by writer Clive Martin, to talk about the British “citizen celebrity” and what happens when a local legend goes viral on TikTok. We discuss its similarities to other forms of British celebrity culture, their place in modern marketing, and whether we should see the phenomenon as a rejection of the pristine, cleanly curated aesthetics of mainstream influencers.

PALESTINE AID LINKS
As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians. You can donate using the links below.
https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate
https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict
please do make your voice heard in other ways about this. Showing up at protest marches and writing letters to elected MPs are useful acts of solidarity. Please encourage your elected representatives to support calls for a ceasefire, while still bearing in mind a ceasefire represents the bare minimum.
