We’re in an era where everyone can be a celebrity. And that’s okay!  For the past ten years, Bobby Finger and Lindsey Weber, hosts of the podcast <a href="https://www.whoweekly.us/"target="_blank" >Who? Weekly</a>, have dissected the celebrity landscape. From the declining power of A-List celebrities to the rising power of influencers, the duo have investigated how fame and power have shifted over the last decade. They’ve asked the question: ‘Who gets to be famous?’ And discovered, ‘ well, nowadays, anyone.’ <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/805103/i-want-to-be-famous-by-bobby-finger-and-lindsey-weber/"target="_blank" >I Want to Be Famous: When Everybody and Nobody Is a Celebrity</a> is their new book where they explore what they've learned about the ephemeral nature of fame, celebrity, and our collective obsession with reality television.
