Jesse Hirsh is a broadcaster, researcher, and Internet evangelist in Toronto, Canada. He frequently appears on CBC radio and has a weekly spot on CBC Newsworld, where he explains and analyzes the latest trends and developments in technology using accessible language.

He also co-hosts an interfaith show on OMNI Television called 3D: Dialogue. That show explores the world's religions and spiritual paths through interviews with practitioners, gurus, holy people, and cynics regarding their rituals, scriptures, and beliefs (or lack thereof).

He owns and operates the consulting firm Openflows Networks Ltd., which specializes in using free software for open source intelligence. Primarily, this involves researching and deploying advanced Internet-based platforms for companies and organizations, both large and small.

Hirsh was educated at the McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology at the University of Toronto, where he also took a course with sociologist Barry Wellman. Hirsh has been lecturing audiences internationally since the early 1990s. He is married to writer Emily Pohl-Weary.
