This Is the End

Duncan points to CBC's The End, a three-part series on the future of TV, radio, and print, with video of each available online along with show notes. Jian Ghomeshi hosted the series, and interviews people in each industry, some of whom (all podcasters or bloggers) I've met or had online conversations with. Ghomeshi splits time between Toronto, Vancouver, New York and Los Angeles, ending each segment aware that some people will have watched it on TV, their computer or their personal digital video player of choice. As I joked on Duncan's pointer, there doesn't seem to be an episode about the end of the Internet, to which Duncan noted there was no episode about the end of the universe.
