Ep. 20: Celebrity Culture: When Did It Get So Bad?

This week, in a fresh new episode of Uncle, Please Sit, former journalists and comedy writers Joel Pereira and Tushar Abhichandani are joined this time by not one, but two special guests. Former entertainment journalists and current content creators Aniruddha Guha and Janice Sequeira drop by to chat with the guys about celebrity culture.

From the rather sedate days of polite interviews and photo features in magazines and newspapers to the paparazzi and gossip driven celebrity culture today, the question we're asking our guests today is - when did it get so toxic? When did our entire culture centre itself so much around fame? It does seem now that we elevate our idols to gods, but was it always this way? Click through to find out more.
