Barn Cat Media is a show that looks at books, films, and events of the past and present through the lens of media and cultural theory. In this episode I discuss heroes and celebrities and what the difference between the two signifies about American culture. I also look at how social media has exacerbated the replacement of the hero with the celebrity in the 21st century.
