Since Joe Biden is now president and Brunch is no longer illegal, Phoebe is away this week having poached eggs, avocados and sourdough toast with frosty mimosas in honour of Queen Kamala. Meanwhile, in a desolate corner of south London, Hussein sits down with friend of the show Ryan Broderick, who writes the Garbage Day newsletter and hosts The Content Mines podcast, to dissect what #content might become now that Trump is no longer on the platform. Will we return to the 2014 era of Avengers memes, Cat gifs and Girlboss discourse? Or, will online content continue to decay as platforms consolidate and commodify it further? You can probably guess the view of the pod, but Ryan reminds us that there is some light at the end of the tunnel/Austrian basement.
We also talk about Macklemore's oddly self-aware freestyle, and why Sense8 actually makes The Matrix, and by extension, the concept of technology it presents, make more sense.
