Podcast roundup: Peter Hirshberg on TV and the web

Just saw one of the best TED talk videos I’ve ever seen: Peter Hirshberg on TV and the web | Video on TED.com. Basically tells a familiar story of the convergence of web and media that was covered in so many classes I TAed at UCSC and gives a glimpse of what I’d like to study in graduate school.

It’s thesis is also compelling as it sort of posits that Tv and computers are in a sort of competition with one another (and very appropriately references Marshall Macluhan). It’s long but worth a watch.
