I'm not sure when box sets went from being something you bought as a present on Father's Day to being the way that people consume TV, but it's clearly happened. If it's not "Game of Thrones", it's a new comedy, or a new murder thriller series from Scandinavia.
The adverts on the TV all seem to imply that the best way is to pick a boxed set, and then binge-watch until you have caught up. Which is how I think I am currently treating a great resource recommended to me by Richard Cousins at BP.
It's called "DisasterCast", and is a podcast series by Drew Rae, (see http://www.griffith.edu.au/humanities-languages/school-humanities/staff/drew-rae). I've listened to maybe twenty of these so far, and they are uniformly excellent, thought provoking, and informative. I've mentioned them to a few colleagues, but am clearly ahead of them so far in my listening. I know I'll be liberally quoting from his thoughts from now on.
The podcasts are available http://disastercast.co.uk/, and can be downloaded on all major podcast software, including iTunes.
If BBC Radio 4 describes itself as "broadsheet radio", then this is "broadsheet safety broadcasting". Simply superb.
