Tuesday May 31, 2022
Friend of all the shows Alex Ptak (PtakTestKitchen) joins us on the pod, with some treats and delights to explain to us. On this episode, we talk about what it means to be a "wiseposter", Alex talks us through a weird tiktok channel making extremely low quality horror content that gives you the ick, and we round up by discussing one Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and his unique social media strategy of getting mad about things people enjoy about science. Also included: A long-ish discussion on how to get your own Wikifeet page.

We're joined by Gizmodo's Shoshana Wodinsky to talk about how tech companies are using the impending repeal of Roe v Wade as an opportunity to expand their surveillance apparatus and abilities, and how basically every smart phone is going to be used as a hyper-personalised surveillance device that will employ the combination of ad-tech, tracking and state surveillance to build a system that constantly monitors you, tries to sell stuff to you and, also, arrest you. Shoshana tells us some ways to work around this that are essential to do any form of activism. Also, we check in on Jordan Peterson, who has seemingly pissed off some of his fanbase who are dating women who aren't instagram models.

True Crime Is Rotting Your Brain ft. Emma Berquist
Tuesday May 24, 2022
Tuesday May 24, 2022
We're joined by the writer Emma Berquist (@eeberquist) to talk about a recent piece she wrote on the pitfalls of the True Crime boom, and how the explosion of true crime content, in the form of podcasts, youtube channels and Tiktoks, might be contributing to a culture of intense, and often racialised, paranoia. Emma talks to us about how True Crime shows often borrow from the fear-inducing features of tabloid papers and magazines, while using their proximity to listeners/viewers, to project ideas of a world that is more dangerous than it actually is, and why this might not be a good thing at a time when so many people feel atomised and isolated. Oh, also we try to explain "Britain" to Emma and it goes as well as you might imagine it does.

Since Hussein promised Phoebe she didn't have to watch cartoons anymore, and he is an honourable man who sticks to his promises, we're instead watching Reality TV. We watch the first episode of Love In The Flesh, a show in which photogenic but extremely online young people who have, supposedly, only dated on the internet, meet each other in real life on a tropical Island. The show marries the aesthetics of Love Island with the slight unhinged-ness of Catfish, to convey what happens when you're extremely online, but in a specific, commercialised way, and also how one might navigate being online differently if they're also extremely attractive.

The Fandom Menace ft. Jessica Lucas
Tuesday May 17, 2022
Tuesday May 17, 2022
This week we're joined by Jessica Lucas from Input Magazine, to discuss the "Will White" fandom, something that does actually exist, and apparently consists on various Moms on TikTok going to war with each other. We talk about contemporary fandom, how to understand what it is, and fandom as a form of expression and social relations, rather than one of veneration and support. Plus, we discuss Pick Up Artists on Twitter, and their new strategy of Twitter Roleplay to market their products.

We're joined by writer and presenter Chanté Joseph, to talk about her recent VICE article on Cringe, and whether being cringe could in fact be a form of liberation. We talk about what it means to be 'sincere' on the internet, at a time when authenticity seems like a poor designation, and whether the appeal of cringe actually just emerges at a time when there are too many trend cycles that are happening too fast. Is this all just a crisis of performance?

Kony 2022 ft. Dipo Faloyin

Tuesday May 10, 2022
We're joined this week by Dipo Faloyin, a journalist, senior editor at VICE and the author of "Africa Is Not A Country: Breaking Stereotypes of Modern Africa". In this episode, we talk about the legacy of Kony 2012 - one of the first 'super viral' social media campaigns, and the ways that it impacted the economies and societies of a number of countries in Africa. We also talk about the nihilism that emerged out of the failures of Kony 2012, and the ways they shape how we understand the modern internet, and, crucially, why we seem to have so little faith in it anymore.

We did it Joe! We finally got to the end of this series. On the final episode, Lain, who is now the defacto god of the internet, has to try figure out what to do with her powers, and, how to make the internet and the real world separated places again. Will she succeed? Or will she accidentally found a social media company? Either way, she'll be girl bossin' , and we appreciate that.

Twitter Musk: A Fragrance For Losers ft. Paris Marx
Tuesday May 03, 2022
Tuesday May 03, 2022
This week, Paris Marx (@parismarx), host of the Tech Won't Save Us podcast, talks to us about Elon Musk's near-take over of everyone's favourite website, and his vague plans to make all the features worse to, uh, own the libs? I guess? We talk about how Musk's purchase really does fortify the "Everything Is Posting" thesis and how Musk's Twitter is guaranteed to make everything more stupid than it already is.
