February 22, 2022 11:41 - 1 hour - 110 MBThis week, we're joined by Aaron from The Trillbillies Podcast to talk about a recent essay he wrote about nostalgia, gritty reboots, hauntology, and the inability to conceive of any kind of future, let alone one that might actually be better. We talk about how and why reboots fail to capture any kind of contemporary moment in the age of content, and why this has also led to a situation where shows about teenagers, and ostensibly *for* teenagers, are actually geared toward and discussed by p...

T...

December 28, 2021 13:15 - 1 hour - 101 MBWe close out a year of Posts with friend of the show Nish Kumar, as we each bring a favourite post, tweet or column and explain why it bests defines this strange and absurd year. From right-wing talk show hosts who keep getting bested by sweet treats, to the emergence of the Woke Taliban (in a very literal sense), what were the themes of 2021's tweets? Why did things feel so strange in the latter half? And does it have something to do with Michael Owen walking through a tear in the Time-Spac...

December 21, 2021 11:08 - 2 hours - 168 MBAll of us have/had the novel coronavirus, and because it's Christmas, we decided to watch a low-energy Neflix film.

We then go on to talk about the Metaverse, and why Facebook's announcement of their weird virtual boardrooms might simply be a way to paper over problems that they have caused, and realised are unfixable. U...

November 23, 2021 11:21 - 1 hour - 103 MBThis week, Nate (@inthesedeserts) comes back on the Posts Pod to tell us about some internet history, and this little forum you might have heard of called "Something Awful". Following the death of Something Awful's founder, "Lowtax", Nate tells us how the forums shaped much of contemporary internet culture, ranging from terms like 'doxxing' and the ubiquity of trolls, to Lolcats, gifs, and uh, a lot of racism and Nazi insignia.

September 28, 2021 12:45 - 1 hour - 106 MBOn this week's episode, we're joined once again by Will Kedjanyi (@KeejayOV3) to talk about why the British government - having decided to fully give up on governing- has been stocked to the brim with Posters. From Nadine Dorries falling for every Facebook conspiracy you can think of, to Liz Truss and her #love of #hashtags, the Conservative party have decided to simply cover all aspects of poster's brain - a strategy which, oddly enough, seems to be working.

REBUILD OF 10KPOSTS: (NEVER) SMILE AT A GATOR
September 14, 2021 10:37 - 1 hour - 84.7 MBIt has come to our attention that some of our early episodes were "difficult to listen to". Maybe it was because of bad audio and remote recording, or, more likely, that very few people in society have Chad Ears. In any case, we've decided to revisit some classic episodes, not only with clear eyes and USB mics, but also with greater knowledge of the Way of the Post. This week, we revisit the Alligator Tweet, in which a woman known only as Brienne of Snarth, describes how she didn't care ab...
