    I thought I was Very Online, and Kathrine continues to show me sides of the web I’d never seen. She’s doing great work as an internet sociologist. Great pod if your goal is to delve into these type of conversations.

  • Perfect for Internet Addicts, both current and recovering

    If you spent your 00s on second life and neopets and tumblr, wondering what mutations that kind of psychic radiation has done to your brain, this is a podcast for examining that. And what new mutations the current internet cultural world, which melts into our real world more each day, is having on us. How we think. How we interact with each other. It's thoughtful, it's funny. If you're addicted to twitter then you'll love it.
