TOGs, Bourdieu, habitus, mirroring, fan-tagonism, cultural capital, Mustardland and Chuffer Dandridge. Do these mean anything to you? Sound interesting?

This week the Radio Labs blog is going to be leaving the world of technology that we normally write about and will look at another side of the internet. For the past year or so, I have been working with three universities on a study of the online behaviours of listeners and fans of ´óÏó´«Ã½ radio and over the rest of this week, we're going to be publishing guest posts from each of the researchers on their case studies: interactivity on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio messageboards, the off-´óÏó´«Ã½ activity of fans of Terry Wogan, fan cultures around the Archers and how the ´óÏó´«Ã½ serves specialist music fans.

Read more and comment at the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Labs blog.
