Comedy writer, producer and author Josh Gondelman joins us on the pod this week to talk about his life online, and how it shaped his career and adult life.
We talk about Josh’s early experiences lurking on hip hop forums, and how it informed his tastes in music and culture. Josh also reminisces being on Twitter in the early 2010s, where freedom to experiment led to career opportunities, and stints in writers rooms. We also talk about why it’s so difficult to have a nice time on the internet, and why the worst thing you can do online is post a benign opinion.

This week, we’re joined by Dr Jazz Tehara, a clinical psychologist and lecturer based in the UK, to talk about the proliferation of AI in the therapeutic process, and the ways in which it might be undermining established therapeutic practices, to the detriment of patients and clinicians.
We focus on two recent stories – one of a woman whose AI convinced her that her psychotherapist was in love with her, and another of a man whose AI convinced him he had invented a new kind of mathematics, and in doing so, alienated him from his family members. Both stories pose the same question: What happens when a patient trusts, and feels safer around an AI chatbot than the people in their community who want to help them?

Tech journalist and friend of the show Chris Stokel-Walker returns to talk about the Online Safety Act, and why its roll out now means you can’t brew Kombucha without submitting your passport details to Reddit first. Chris talks to us about the politics of the Online Safety Act, what it means for the future of internet access, and how it sets a path for future governments to be more authoritarian with online regulation. In the second half of the episode, the lads talk about Trump’s recent posts on Truth Social, in which he officially becomes a stan in the Sydney Sweeney hive, and why sometimes it’s nice to take a long melancholic walk on the roof of your house by yourself.

Mattie returns to the show to talk about her early memories on the internet, and how it shaped both her work, and her posting.
We talk for a surprising amount of time about Labubu, digging into its lore, as well as working out how to spot a fake one. We then talk about about Mattie’s latest graphic novel, ‘Simplicity’, which examines cults, communities and what it means to go and find yourself.
Purchase a copy of Simplicity here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/739012/simplicity-by-mattie-lubchansky/

This week, our pal November returns to the show to talk about going on her first Live Action Roleplay (LARP).
She tells us about the hobby, what the LARP community looks like, and how it accommodates newbies and veterans. She tells us about the virtue of meeting your online friends in real life, and how these kinds of communities can provide a comforting, protective space, in part because of how it is deliberately removed from the social relations that mediate our online lives.
But first, Phoebe has a wonderful new Goo to tell us about.
You can read about November’s experience on the LARP, here: https://novemberkel.ly/2025/07/06/wing-and-a-prayer/

Sociologist and political economist Will Davies joins the show to talk about his recent forays into Faragist TikTok, and what it tells us about Britain’s online habits, and how it’s influencing contemporary politics. Will talks to us about how the For You Page became the dominant organisational system for using social media, and how this has created an anti-social environment. He also explains how online induced paranoia seeped into the real world, convincing people that they are being scammed and persistently lied to, resulting in an angrier, more confrontational politics that nobody, including Nigel Farage, knows how to contain or control in the long term.

Can you believe it's already been 5 whole years since we first got together on a sunny July morning in Lockdown to talk about Eric Garland's game theory thread? We can't, and we needed to be reminded by instagram to even realise. So, to celebrate, we gathered questions from our loyal listeners, and today we're finally getting to the bottom of: What kind of poster would Yukio Mishima be if he were still around? What kind of posts do we miss the most? How has the show changed now that we're both parents, and if we entered the babies into a baby contest, what would they win? All this and more!

Rebecca returns to the show to talk about her recent attempts to reclaim her attention from screens and notifications, and whether it’s truly possible to build an attention span at all.
We discuss the developing literature and research around attention, and what is meant when we talk about focus, delve into the great debate on declining literacy rates & whether we are heading toward a ‘post-literate’ society, and whether the small, but growing number of people trying to better manage their time online might be an effective starting point to challenge the algorithms.

This week, we're joined by friend of the show and returning champion Eleanor Janega, as well as her 'We're Not So Different' podcast co-host Luke Waters, to talk about Hildegard of Bingen, a 12th century Benedictine Abbess. Known for her religious visions, and the writing, sermons and music that emerged from them, Hildegard is often considered a polymath, and as one of the founders of german scientific natural history.
We talk about Hildegard’s place in high medieval society, the breadth of her writing - from religious commentary to linguistics and natural science - and of course, whether she had the spirit of a Poster.
