Cultural historian Joe Moran joins Joseph Dweck to discuss the overlooked beauty of the mundane.
From queuing to scrolling, he reveals how the routines and rituals we ignore are actually the scaffolding of human life. Together they reflect on shyness, language, and how studying motorways or meetings can illuminate deep truths about society, identity, and history.
Joe explains why ordinary moments deserve our attention, why he resists generational stereotypes, and what Gen Z gets right about the modern condition.
Joe Moran is Professor of English and Cultural History at Liverpool John Moores University. His acclaimed books include Queuing for Beginners, Armchair Nation, and If You Should Fail. His work focuses on the cultural and historical significance of the everyday.
