The so-called Millennial generation - those born between 1982 and 1994 - has been much maligned in the press for being lazy, entitled, vain, venal, self-involved, easily offended little emperors.

But Alex Edelman thinks these criticisms are baseless - so he's seeking to redress the balance.

In this opening episode, he's discussing Millennials' attitude to work and institutions.

Written and presented by Alex Edelman.
