The Anti-Content Podcast

On this episode we're jumping into the fourth season of that techno-dystopia series, Black Mirror. and it's episodes; 'USS Callister', 'ArkAngel', 'Crocodile', 'Hang the DJ', 'Metalhead', and the mind-bending finale, 'Black Museum'...

We're gonna review each ep, while comparing their oh-so clever tech to the stuff that's been creeping into our lives lately. You may think we're far off from turning parents into obsessive surveillance maniacs, or people's memories becoming as accessible as old photo albums, but i'd say we're already half-way there with some of this upcoming tech.

On today's Anti-Content Radio (Music Free) I'll be discussing the impact of technology on our social lives and mental health.

from the rise of Replika AI why it's important to recognize that it's not a replacement for real human connections to the world of online dating and how the low success rates on platforms like Tinder are affecting people's mental health.

On this episode Sam, Tian and Scott sit down and discuss the despicable crimes of "Syko Sam" AKA Richard McCroskey AKA The Horrorcore Killer; who committed four counts of cold blooded murder in 2009 in the town of Farmville, Virginia. Much like with our previous Cyberpsychos we look into Richards mindset, the psychology behind his actions and answer the all important question "Why would someone do this?" Was it a simple case of bloodlust? was it rejection?And is there any validity to the claims that the Horrorcore music scene somehow responsible?
