This week's Culturetopia podcast is hosted by Tell Me More producer Alicia Montgomery and All Things Considered producer Justine Kenin. And as always, it covers a lot of ground.
We first hear a great piece from our own Neda Ulaby about 'DJ Hero,' the latest music video game that lets you rock the club, but you know, from your couch. Find out how a real DJ and a gamer stack up against each other.
We hear part of an interview with scholar and author Cornel West, who discusses the differences between hip hop and rap.
Then, NPR's Melissa Block talks with cinematographer Roger Deakins -- best known for his work with the Coen Brothers -- about the use of CGI and the art of happy accidents.
NPR film critic Bob Mondello gives us his review of the Michael Jackson concert film This Is It. And finally, singer, songwriter and bassist extraordinaire Meshell Ndegeocello drops in to talk about her music and perform a song.
As always, you can hear the podcast right here, or become a subscriber and get a weekly dose of favorite NPR arts coverage.
