  Lindsay Johns

  Writer, broadcaster and cultural commentator
  

  Lindsay has written for The Times, The Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Evening Standard and New Humanist magazine on socio-political and racial topics. Having had various features on BBC Radio 3’s Nightwaves, BBC Radio 5 Live and been featured in several Channel 5 history documentaries, his recent polemic against bling culture was a Channel 4 Three Minute Wonder in August 2008. After reading French and Italian at Oxford, and a period of postgraduate work in medieval Latin philosophy in London, he is now the resident cultural critic on Colourful Radio. A devotee of Dante and Shakespeare as much as of Beenie Man and Big Daddy Kane, Lindsay seeks to unite the academy and the street. His expertise lies in the fields of classical, medieval and Renaissance history and literature. In his spare time he works as a volunteer mentor with young people on a leadership scheme in Peckham, South London.
