You’ll hear from the pioneers, those who made teletext tick, and the newcomers keeping the medium alive 50 years after its inception. This is a social record of teletext, and these are the teletext people.

  • In Conversation with James Domestic, Punk Poet

    In Conversation with James Domestic, Punk Poet
    May 26 2024

    James Domestic grew up in Essex, is a compulsive songwriter, a musician, occasional DJ, painter, poet, and punk.

    He holds a doctorate from the University of Essex, has toured the world and elsewhere with The Domestics, and made records with more bands than is healthy or sensible.

    He was kind enough to speak to me in his Local, The Brewers Tap, Sudbury.

    We cover a range of subjects and when it came to edit, I unashamedly did not leave an awful lot out as I found the whole interview engaging. Look out for the exclusive teletext Poem! You Can follow James on his facebook, or go to jamesdomestic.com for updates and books.
