306: We Haven't Forgotten Our Past

High Culture in TNG.
 
When The Next Generation had a cultural reference or an artistic
performance, it was often part of what would be called high
culture, such as Shakespeare, classical music, or painting.
Although cultural references and performances considered to be
among the highest accomplishments of Earth culture go back as far
as the first season of The Original Series, The Next Generation
seems to bring this type of culture into the lives of its
characters more than any other Star Trek series.

In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Joe Keegan and Amy Nelson are
joined by guest Duncan Barrett of Primitive Culture to discuss
high culture in The Next Generation and its effect on the show.
The topics discussed include literature, the performing arts
(including classical music and poetry), and the visual arts
(including painting and pottery).
