Joining us this week is Scott Kushner, Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Rhode Island's Harrington School of Communication and Media.

His work has appeared in venues including Space & Culture, Convergence, and New Media & Society. We sat down with him to learn more about how a crowd becomes an audience - the topic of his most recent paper, Controlling Crowds: On the Technological Management of Entertainment Audiences, published in the journal Technology and Culture.
