ABC Radio National’s All in the Mind recently broadcast a beautifully produced edition on the cultural history of panic.
Curiously, it inspired a student of one of the sociologists interviewed on the programme to create their own retro video mashup using some of the audio.
It’s a wonderfully atmospheric, dreamily paranoid and a striking accompaniment to the programme.
Whoever thought panic could feel so ambient?
