I knew there was a reason why I liked driving up and down the motorway at stupid o'clock twice a week. It was down to sterling programming from the BBC wireless service, such as this. An hour long look at online communities and how they compare to real friends and loved ones (remember them?). Don't know why it was being broadcast via Radio 3, but it was a good 80 miles worth of discussion and study as to the impact of the internet in building new types of human experiences.
Details of the program can be found here
The series has been inspired by the learned work of Zygmunt Bauman "Liquid Life" which you can buy from here.
