When he was in college, the thing that enraged Brett Cohen the most was celebrity culture. One day he had the idea to mock it by pretending to be a celebrity, gathering a fake entourage and walking through Midtown Manhattan. It was a big success, and then a film he made of the day went viral.
But there was one small problem: Once Cohen tasted fame, even fake fame, he discovered that he didn't want to give it up.
This week the NPR podcast and show Invisibilia explores how people change from the outside in. We look at a debate team in Rwanda, a country that just one day declared gender equality. We look at twins who introduced an app into their relationship and how it changed them. And a man who met a bird that transformed his view of the world.
