We're joined by New York Times tech writer Mike Isaac, who is also the author of Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber . Mike has been covering our friend Elon for a bit, and he talks to us about the "Twitter Files" that were released at the tail end of 2022, and what Elon's role in handing internal documents to substack writers suggests about his media strategy. We also talk about how Elon's management of twitter is tied into his other business ventures, and that while he might have been good at spinning all the plates before, the reckoning of tech giants might mean the jig is up.

Rachel (@RachelConnoll14) joins us once again to talk about her recent Kinfolk article, on what happens when ordinary people go viral. We talk about surveillance, agency and *the spectacle*, and how all these themes could be seen playing out in the aftermath of The Queen's Death. We also talk about what it actually means when The Daily Mail goes searching for tweets, and who is really the target when shit hits the fan.

For the final episode of 2022, we're talking to Michael Veale, associate professor in digital regulations in the faculty of laws at UCL, about the Online Safety Bill.

We’ve wanted to talk about the online safety bill for a while now, not least because there’s some confusion as to what it actually is, and what it’s supposed to do.

On the one hand, its supporters say that it is a necessary intervention to ‘protect’ people from harmful online content - which can range from racism and misogyny, to pornography etc. Yet, the same supporters also insist that the OSB will enshrine freedom of speech. In fact, former tech minister Damian Collins even said this week, that the OSB is necessary to prevent people like Elon Musk from kicking off journalists critical of him.

This week, to round out a year that has felt increasingly like an all-out assault on the senses, we spoke to Senior Vox Correspondent Rebecca Jennings about her article, 'Every "Chronically Online" Conversation is the same". 
This was a really fun way to end the year! It's always nice to talk to people who also understand how broken communication online is.

Rebecca (@wilksbecca) joins us again for part two of our special series on Landlord Posting.

On this episode, we talk about what 'makes' a Landlord poster, from the constant feeling of victimhood, to upholding the warped myths of history that make Landlords just as important as the Troops. We discuss how Landlord posting has borrowed from 'rise and grind' posting on TikTok and LinkedIn to try promote themselves as intrepid entrepreneurs, only to stumble at the first hurdles the moment they're asked if hoarding assets with cheap debt necessarily counts as "smart finance".
