This week, Hussein speaks to author and New Yorker columnist Kyle Chayka about his recent New Yorker article "Why The Internet Isn't Fun Anymore". Kyle explains how the take-over by platforms in the late Aughts and 2010's expanded the internet's regular audience, and turned users into producers and consumers simultaneously – making the internet a place where you were expected to work, and have fun, at the same time. With no signs of that changing, Kyle explains how he's adopted a more conscious, and selective approach to going online, and how he's returned to tradition through the medium of bootlegged flash games.

This week, we talk about the Netflix film Accused (2023), in which a young man travels from London to the countryside and has the worst night of his life, when he is blamed for a terrorist attack on social media. We discuss what the film gets right about pile-ons, and the ways in which violence is presented across different social platforms, as well as some of the bizarre scenarios and characterisation choices that contribute to giving the protagonist the worst night of his life.

This week, we go back to one of our favourite topics: Youtubers. And in particular, we talk about a recent video from Max Fosh, an elder millennial British 'prankster' who, like many of his generation, are trying to figure out what's next for their online careers. We discuss the crisis facing older Youtubers through a recent video Fosh put out where he turns Mr Beast's saliva into a cheese, and makes a well meaning, but clearly confused Turophile eat it on camera.

We're joined this week by Beatrice Adler-Bolton, a researcher, artist, co-host of Death Panel, and the co-author of HEALTH COMMUNISM: A Surplus Manifesto.
We talk about the ways 'healthcare' as it is currently provided is directly linked to labor and economic growth, and as a result, dismissing those who cannot participate in work. We also talk about the limits of providing institutional national healthcare, and the ways that new systems of health and care provision can be imagined and devised in post-capitalism.

The UK may be the only developed nation currently shifting its' infrastructure focus away from Trains and towards Cars, as the Prime Minister states that there is a 'War on Motorists'. In a country where the Car Guy feels like a rising political force, comedian Milo Edwards, who has a car, joins us to unpack how we got here.

This week, we're joined by friend of the show Paris Marx, host of the podcast 'Tech Won't Save Us' and author of 'Road to Nowhere: What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong about the Future of Transportation'.
In this episode, Hussein and Paris talk about silicon valley's obsessions with generative AI, and the ways that it not only undermines art and creativity, actively limits what people are allowed to imagine, as as a result, are allowed to desire out of their lives. Paris explains how this isn't a new phenomenon, and that the prescient dangers of profit-driven generative AI were forewarned by the American writer Ursula le Guin nearly a decade ago.
You can read Paris' article on Disconnect, here: https://www.disconnect.blog/p/generative-ai-closes-off-a-better

This week, Hussein talks to Alison Rumfitt, author of "Tell Me I'm Worthless" and "BRAINWYRMS", about Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi. We talk about what happened in the film that seemingly got so many people mad, from stan accounts to online fascists, as well as how the response to the film spooked Disney into commissioning a load of very bad spin-off shows, rendering Star Wars into little more but pure content to passively watch on your laptop. Was the franchise destroyed by too many posts? That would be a fairly simplistic reading, sure. But it's not entirely untrue....
