A veritable flurry of media interest has surrounded the Psychogeography Society in recent weeks, which might interest our readers.
A journalist from Radio-Canada joined us on our recent walk through the Chabanel fashion district and put together this short documentary which was broadcast on the program, Macadam, last Friday evening on 95.1 FM. If this wasn’t enough, a journalist from the Gazette contacted me to do a story about The Psychogeography Society that appeared in last Saturday’s paper.
Our turn-out for the Chabanel walk was typical – 12 or so – but the media interest in our organized acts of ‘flânerie’ has really caught me off guard. Are the media outlets simply getting desperate for quirky, feel-good news stories or are we hitting a resonating chord with our aimless walks in this fast-paced modern city?

That is great news. Psychogeography is enjoying a second coming, it seems. I must contact the society and join you one day for one of these walks. Maybe the media interest is a sign of a rising awareness that we need to explore our cities and reclaim them as our own. Instead of leaving them to private interests.
