Techish is a podcast about technology and society hosted by journalist David Hamilton. In this first episode, we talk about how the YouTube form could be changing what it means to be a filmmaker and a viewer. We also chat with Sean Tse, who was involved in the YouTube film Verax (http://youtu.be/OWVGDBeR42I), a YouTube thriller based around whistleblower Edward Snowden.

Our culture and society is largely shaped by the technologies we use and create. And the effect of technology isn't always straightforward. The Techish podcast looks at technologies and asks: “What’s the ish?” This simple question will hopefully start the conversation around how technologies are shaping modern lives.
