The is an interesting look back on weird corners of the internet that I never knew about growing up. The intriguing intersections of culture, technology, and politics that criscross this show make for a fun listen
Mighty fine podcast about the history of Something Awful and the early internet.
It seems like Winslow needs to learn how to engage in conversational give-and-take on this show without relating everything back to himself. Is that mean? Probably, but it's kind of whack that he won't stop talking about himself even on the eps about his co-host's dead partner.

I’m a goon(ette) from early 2000’s and was excited to hear this. But it’s just…missing something? A big part of it is that it’s doesn’t seem to even try to be funny. Most episodes consist of one of the guys telling some story from SA and the other reacting, but for the most part it’s very flat.

Two hosts with a deep focus on early internet culture guide conversations through notable forum threads, memes, and pivotal online moments. Episodes blend history, media literacy, and sharp, often acerbic humor as they dissect online communities, platform histories, and influential personalities from the Something Awful ecosystem and beyond. The show stands out for its niche subject matter, detailed archival approach, and a willingness to challenge mainstream narratives with candid commentary from internet historians and comedians. Potential listeners who crave behind-the-scenes context on how online culture formed, and who enjoy a no-holds-barred, conversational tone, will likely find it compelling.
