April 09, 2024 Reader, I posted it: a Booktok Primer ft. Barry Pierce
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.

April 05, 2024 #WheresKate: Experiments with Editing ft. Ellie Hall
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.

This is a preview of a bonus episode. To listen to the full episode, subscribe to our Patreon for as little as $5 a month, at www.patreon.com/10kpostspodcast.
-------
We're joined by reporter John McDermott, whose recent investigation into the self-proclaimed 'monk' turned corporate lifestyle guru Jay Shetty, has caused ruptures in online life coaching and wellness influencer circles. John talks to us about how Shetty went from being a blogger living in the suburbs of north London to a personal guru for celebrities like Oprah and Will Smith, the unique aspects of American celebrity that facilitated his rise to fame. We also talk about Johns process of uncovering the inconsistencies in Shetty's origin story – particularly his claims of being a monk – and what they suggest, more broadly, about our collective attitude toward truth on the internet.

March 26, 2024 Lamenting the LAN Party ft. Merritt K
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.

March 22, 2024 My Life In Posting: Jay Caspian Kang [PREVIEW]
This is a preview of a bonus episode. Listen to the full episode on Patreon at www.patreon.com/10kpostspodcast.

--------
Hussein talks to the writer and podcaster Jay Caspian Kang about his early memories of being on the internet, and how its shaped his thinking about life today.
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.

March 19, 2024 If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade ft Vincent Bevins
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.
