  • From tracking hashtags to the real-time monitoring of Facebook: Citizen Lab's Christopher Parsons addresses the Canadian government's interest in social media monitoring. Is the government simply trying better gauge reaction to its policies? Or do Canadians need to be much more careful about what they say online?
     
  • Alejandro Rose-Garcia is Shakey Graves, a folk-rock solo artist from Austin, Texas. He performs from his new album in studio Q, and talks about his love for Townes Van Zandt and the Spice Girls.
     
  • We speak to filmmaker Chris Moukarbel about his HBO doc Banksy Does New York. The film documents street artist Banksy's month long residency in the city during October 2013. But instead of revealing more about the elusive artist's identity, the film looks into New Yorkers obsession with Banksy and the power of social media.
