My Life In Posting: Jay Caspian Kang [PREVIEW]
Friday Mar 22, 2024
Friday Mar 22, 2024
This is a preview of a bonus episode. Listen to the full episode on Patreon at www.patreon.com/10kpostspodcast.
--------
Hussein talks to the writer and podcaster Jay Caspian Kang about his early memories of being on the internet, and how its shaped his thinking about life today.
Jay talks about spending time on hip hop forums and participating in text-based rap battles, and how the New York blog culture of the 90s and 2000s took him from writing novels into long-form journalism.
Jay also talks about his recent article in the New Yorker, which examines how an obscure surfing spot near his house became on online phenomena among amateurs, and how this change can explain the way online culture has subsumed political discourse, to the point where its now just people yelling at each other for reasons they can't quite explain.

If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade ft Vincent Bevins
Tuesday Mar 19, 2024
Tuesday Mar 19, 2024
Hussein and Phoebe talk to the journalist Vincent Bevins, whose most recent book, 'If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution' looks back on the protest movements that defined the 2010s, and asks why their successes were limited, and in some case, counter-reactive to their initial objectives. Vincent talks us through some of the major protests that defined the decade, and the influence of platform-based social media had on their organisational structures. We also talk about what the future of protesting may hold in a more hostile tech environment, and whether the internet as an organisational tool is more beneficial to right-wing activists, than those on the left.

Lifting for Likes ft. Tom O'Mahony [PREVIEW]
Friday Mar 15, 2024
Friday Mar 15, 2024
We’re joined by noted oafthroplogist and podcast host Thomas O’Mahony to talk about the slop of gym content on TikTok and YouTube, and what it can tell us about how men, in particularly, think about their bodies and their place in the world.
We discuss how fitness content has changed in the past decade, why it’s become so hard to design a simple work out plan for yourself, and the extreme, bizarre ways fitness influencers are having to market themselves in a saturated market. Obviously we talk about the man who gets mad at all the bread at Tesco.

You wouldn't Deliveroo a Latte ft. Dr Adam Badger
Tuesday Mar 12, 2024
Tuesday Mar 12, 2024
To discuss the recent Deliveroo and Ubereats strikes, we're joined by Dr Adam Badger, lecturer in economic geography at Newcastle University, whose work focusses on the platform economy, gig work and urban planning.
We talk about Adam's time as a delivery worker and the ways apps have made the lives of drivers and cyclists more difficult, and even life-threatening. We also discuss how the increasing power given to platform economy companies have altered the physicality of cities, the effects it has had on housing and public services.
Finally, we discuss how consumers can help workers as the apps continue to chase scale at the expense of their health and wellbeing.

--------
We're joined by the writer and film critic Hannah Strong to talk about "Eighth Grade" the 2018 film debut from musician, comedian and Youtuber Bo Burnham. The film explores the final days of middle school for a young American girl, and her relationship to her family, her social circle as well as the alternative persona she has made for herself online. We discuss why this might be one of the few successful examples of how social media can be depicted on screen, how much of this derived from Burnham's own experiences on the platforms, and whether, in spite of its successes, it really does capture the lived experiences of young Americans.

--------
Ryan comes back on the podcast this week to explain Jimmy Donaldson's – aka "Mr Beast"- new antic, which seems to involve ignoring local government protocol in East Africa to build wells and electricity pylons. Though presented as an altruistic act, Ryan explains how these stunts feed into the expansive "Mr Beast" brand, at a time when it looks like Donaldson is running out of ideas. Ryan also explains Donaldson's failed attempts to be accepted by mainstream culture and how, despite his massive following, it seems unlikely he'll ever make a break into mainstream TV.
