Everything we do is filtered through entertainment. If it’s not entertaining, there is a good chance that nobody is paying attention. So, to understand the world, you have to not only look at your screen but comprehend what is on it. Where does our entertainment come from? Why? How is it shaped by the world around us and how is it shaping that same world? This is the focus of The Entertainment . Each week, Tom Knoblauch explores an element of our culture through conversations with creators and consumers of film, television, music, art, and more. Hosted on Acast.
