Marginalized voices have always been at the forefront of the internet, yet our stories often go overlooked. Bridget Todd chronicles our experiences online, and the ways marginalized voices have shaped the internet from the very beginning. We need monuments to all of the identities that make being online what it is. So let’s build them.

  • Great show

    I really appreciate this show. It’s uncomfortable to listen to because of what it’s revealing, but Bridget does a great job portraying the facts and drawing a picture for you. An ugly picture. But I think it’s better to know these things than not so I keep listening. And I like Bridget.
