Hello and welcome back to the Highlo. This is Episode 4, not too poor. Is that Cockney

Riding slang Pandora? It is. This is our fourth episode of the Highlo. Those devoted listeners

who have checked in before will know that this is a podcast brought to you by me Pandora

Sykes and her Dolly Alderton, where we talk about all things highbrow and lowbrow

that have been happening across the world in the last week. What's your favourite highbrow

thing and lowbrow thing? Oh! And be boasty. Be boasty. Be boasty with the highbrow and

be ruthlessly honest with the lowbrow. I think the highbrow thing would just have to

be something I read so maybe it would be Tolstoy. No. James Joyce. No. I was going to say

like the Atlantic or the New Yorker. Something long form. And lowbrow, it would probably

be dance moms. What's dance moms? It's dance moms but I'm saying it in American

accent. What is it? It's the mother of child dancers. That's screaming bravo to me. 5

star or something. It's only ways on it. That's how I met dance moms. It's just because

I like to watch it all the way somewhere. Yeah. What about you? What's your highbrow? What's

your lowbrow? Highbrow, I would say the critical theory of Roland Baths, lowbrow, watching

old episodes of stars in their eyes on YouTube. I think I can go lower than that actually.

The Harry Biker's cookery programs. Chip sandwiches. Cheesy chips. Oh my god, I'm

on the subject of food. You know all the way. Munch, munch. Oh, I love munch, munch. Don't

you think that munch, munch, munch, munch, is very clever to sell the pickled onion dust

on its own separately? It's just a little sprinkle. I never read the pickled

ones. I roast beef. There we are. They do extraordinary things to your stomach though.

That's all I'm saying. Let's move on. What are we doing in the interest of full disclosure

as you've probably gathered from the preamble, the high lows feeling pretty tired this week?
