Hey, ihr Kaffee-Connaisseure und April-Scherz-Gegner! ☕

This is another in a series of conversations with musical and arts icons. This conversation is Leee John chatting to Jim Baker, after the release of the British Collective album. Celebrating over 30 years in the entertainment industry, Leee John has been an all round artist, singer, writer, record producer, actor and recently a film producer.Leee came to the world’s attention with his group Imagination which he founded in the early 80s. Imagination was signed by Morgan Khan of Street Sound fame after hearing the track "Got To Be Good". Produced by Trevor Horn (producer of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Seal, Grace Jones to name but a few), the master tape was sent to the States to get reproduced but unfortunately got lost and the outcome looked bleak.Leee was introduced to producer Tony Swain and given a piece of music to write some lyrics and a melody. He went home and came up with what became Imagination’s first GOLD RECORD. The hit single "Body Talk". With hits such as "In And Out Of Love", "Flashback", "Music And Lights", "In The Heat Of The Night" and "Just An Illusion", millions of singles were sold internationally.Imagination also went platinum worldwide with sales in excess of 30 million albums

In questa puntata del podcast le ho chiesto che cosa vuol dire essere una sociologa digitale: mi ha spiegato che, appassionata di Web dai tempi di MySpace, si interessa del Web come fenomeno di massa, di moda, ricco di trend da studiare e capire. Riguardo alla tecnologia e genitorialità Francesca sposa appieno la linea di questo podcast: rileva una mancanza di competenze soprattutto nei genitori e ritiene opportuno fare un discorso di “responsabilità e conseguenze” in famiglia. Infine ha dato alcuni interessanti spunti di lettura, che riporto qui:- Giuseppe Riva - “Selfie” (protagonista della puntata #10 di questo podcast- Zygmunt Bauman - “Amore liquido”, “Retropia”, “Meglio essere felici”, “L’ultima lezione”- Carlo Strenger - “Economia della celebrità. Il terrore dell'invisibilità nell'era di Facebook”Questi i riferimenti per seguire Francesca:- https://www.linkedin.com/in/francescaamendola - http://www.radioitalia.it/speakers/francesca_amendola.php- https://twitter.com/amendola (nel podcast spiega perché si presenta così: «Ho un istinto da geek intrappolato in un cervello da nerd».
