The Allusionist

123. Celebrity

Celebrity used to mean a solemn occasion; X factor was algebraic; and fame was a huge terrifying Godzilla-like beast with many many tongues. Here to try define celebrity and fame are historian Greg Jenner of the podcast You’re Dead To Me, Lindsey Weber and Bobby Finger of Who? Weekly podcast, and writer, podcaster and videomaker Hank Green. Find more information about these topics and guests at <a href="http://theallusionist.org/celebrity">theallusionist.org/celebrity</a>. The Allusionist music is by Martin Austwick. Hear Martin’s songs at <a href="http://palebirdmusic.com">palebirdmusic.com </a>or on Spotify, and he’s @martinaustwick on Twitter and Instagram. He also composed the music for the new kids’ science podcast Maddie’s Sound Explorers. I make two other podcasts, <a href="http://vmipod.com">Veronica Mars Investigations</a> and <a href="http://answermethispodcast.com">Answer Me This</a>, which are soothingly escapist.
