Ten Thousand Posts

This is a preview of a bonus episode. Find the whole thing on our reasonably-priced patreon! To commemorate Phoebe’s final episode (before she goes on maternity leave, not forever) we take questions from you. We discuss some big questions about the internet, whether one’s decision not to post still counts and posting, and if the age of vertical video discourse will make our lived experiences more bizarre than they already are. Plus, and most important of all : what are the bizarre foreign snacks we really love and wish were available in the UK? -------- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Journalist and author Joanne Mcneil returns to the show to talk about her novel WRONG WAY, which was among the New Yorker’s best fiction of 2023. Centred around the proliferation of ‘self-driving’ taxis, the novel is an exploration of precarious work and social alienation, and the ways in which the technocratic ruling classes leverage this distancing to assert power and control, even as they prove to be inept and corrupt.

Joe Kassabian, host of the Lions Led By Donkeys podcast and sci-fi author, comes back on the show to talk about Yukio Mishima, once Japans most famous novelist, who led a failed project to restore imperial glory to the country- only to be booed and commit Seppuku.

He also tells us about how Mishima developed the Shield Society, a private army of guys who were dedicated to getting shredded, and all in love with Mishima.

Edi talks to us about how Chinese companies and factories use social media and how it differs from business in the Western world, how China's social media culture is even more driven by algorithmic consumerism than in the US and Europe, and how that has also shaped its unique influencer culture. Edi then explains how this might affect the US and China's ongoing conflicts about the future of the internet, and whether the proposed ban on TikTok may do little to prevent China's influence on how we all post online. ---- Read Edi's Newsletter, 'Sinobabble', here: https://www.sinobabble.com/ ---- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Arts and Culture critic Barry Pierce comes into the studio to talk to us about 'BookTok , a section of TikTok which reviews and recommend books to viewers, and is often used by publishers to market new releases. Barry talks to us about the array of book content on the platform, and why the most successful content rarely engages with the actual writing itself. We talk about how the abundance of book content online has altered the publishing industry, the pressures many authors have to be posting online and how this environment has made it difficult to engage with and critique literature. Barry also explains how the rise of the 'book influencer' indicates an aesthetic shift, where on the internet, it is more important to be seen as 'a reader' than to actually read books.

We're joined by investigative reporter Ellie Hall to talk about the revelation of Princess Catherine of Wales' cancer diagnosis, and the media pressures driven by memes, stan groups and online conspiracy theories that forced her to reveal the condition. Ellie talks to us about the structure of the Royal Household's media operation, how its splintering in recent years has made it difficult to report on the Royal Family, and the ways that new platforms like TikTok are making it difficult for the palaces to keep a lid on sensitive information. We also discuss the aftermath of #whereskate, and what mainstream media outlets will have learned from the affair.

Writer and journalist Merritt K joins us this week to talk about their new book, LAN Party: Inside the Multiplayer Revolution. A collection of photographs, essays and vignettes documenting a short period in the late 90s and early 2000s, the book documents the rise of an internet culture driven by connectivity, created by young people with big computers and thousands of of cables. Merritt talks about the way LAN (Local Area Networks) influenced gaming culture and the industry at large, as well as the aesthetics associated with the LAN party – from skate clothes and rubber soled sneakers to fast food and energy drinks that are banned across most of Europe. We also talk about the unique element of the LAN party – its ability to marry the physical and the digital, and in doing so, creating a space where someone could participate in digital culture, in a real-life social environment.

Jay talks about spending time on hip hop forums and participating in text-based rap battles, and how the New York blog culture of the 90s and 2000s took him from writing novels into long-form journalism. Jay also talks about his recent article in the New Yorker, which examines how an obscure surfing spot near his house became on online phenomena among amateurs, and how this change can explain the way online culture has subsumed political discourse, to the point where its now just people yelling at each other for reasons they can't quite explain.

Hussein and Phoebe talk to the journalist Vincent Bevins, whose most recent book, 'If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution' looks back on the protest movements that defined the 2010s, and asks why their successes were limited, and in some case, counter-reactive to their initial objectives. Vincent talks us through some of the major protests that defined the decade, and the influence of platform-based social media had on their organisational structures. We also talk about what the future of protesting may hold in a more hostile tech environment, and whether the internet as an organisational tool is more beneficial to right-wing activists, than those on the left.
