It is easy to get the feeling sometimes that everyone is a journalist these days. If anything happens, out come the cellphone cameras, and up go the twitter and blog posts. The online world becomes one big eye witness. But in this age of the instant unfiltered eyewitness account, where do we go for context, background, and a deeper understanding?

This week, I look at cultural ethnocentricity, specifically at the impact of Bollywood in the west, in an interview with Katherine Matthews. Katherine is a veteran of the Canadian social media scene, and has recently started a new podcast called totally filmi, about her love for Indian film.

Katherine will also be speaking at this year's Podcasters Across Borders conference!

This week: Is the old concept of hero outmoded?

Words to Wicked Wall Street Billionaire

I am the very model of a wicked Wall Street billionaire;
Because of me you’re unemployed. I’ve got my bonus I don’t care.
I’m talented and wonderful, I’m indispensible you see.
It takes a lot of money to retain finance gurus like me.

Interfaces that enable, interfaces that take away.
