[PREVIEW] Saluting the Mini Roundabout ft. Clive Martin

This is a preview of a bonus episode. To listen and support our work, subscribe on Patreon.  Writer and podcaster Clive Martin returns this week to talk to us about the UK’s summer of chaos, a host of new, uniquely British social media characters have emerged online during this time, and why the rest of the world seems to be so fascinated by them. We also talk about the weird energy espoused by British online content, and how they – alongside a particularly suspicious man from York – contributed to the current ‘Raise The Colours’ campaign being conducted by the far-right. Hussein also talks about nuking his Twitter/X account and Phoebe retells a story of a curious interaction she recently had on Bluesky. ------ ------ Read Clive's article, here: https://www.vice.com/en/article/british-chaos-goes-global/ ------ PALESTINE  AID LINKS - Hunger Strike for Gaza : https://hungerstrikeforgaza.co.uk/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAadiBEYQO-LfDl8vK6GPRzUe8YXrAf6sJcJ1ps8u_6lTEYxKV1SdoSndjzS8sQ_aem_CFRouw6tuita5zvlNGW93Q -You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below. https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict -Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity -Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla https://www.waterislifegaza.org/ -Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848 -Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thamra-cultivating-resilience-in-gaza -------- PHOEBE ALERT Okay, now that we have your attention; check out her Substack Here!

Author and podcast host Rax King returns to the show to talk about SLOPPY: Or doing it wrong, Rax’s newest essay collection, which explores, among many other things, sobriety, self-improvement, regret and forgiveness. We also talk about her formative years online, and how it shaped the person she is today. Rax talks about the multitude of times she got yelled at online for making jokes and mundane observations, and the challenges of writing online today.

Comedy writer, producer and author Josh Gondelman joins us on the pod this week to talk about his life online, and how it shaped his career and adult life. We talk about Josh’s early experiences lurking on hip hop forums, and how it informed his tastes in music and culture. Josh also reminisces being on Twitter in the early 2010s, where freedom to experiment led to career opportunities, and stints in writers rooms. We also talk about why it’s so difficult to have a nice time on the internet, and why the worst thing you can do online is post a benign opinion.  Check out Josh's standup special - Positive Reinforcement Newsletter - That's Marvelous Website - www.joshgondelman.com Maris's book - I Want To Burn This Place Down Here's a list of the albums we spoke about! - Clouddead by clouddead - 13 & god by 13 & god - A New White by Subtle ------ PALESTINE  AID LINKS -You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below. https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict -Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity -Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla https://www.waterislifegaza.org/ -Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848 -Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thamra-cultivating-resilience-in-gaza -------- PHOEBE ALERT Okay, now that we have your attention; check out her Substack Here!

This week, we’re joined by Dr Jazz Tehara, a clinical psychologist and lecturer based in the UK, to talk about the proliferation of AI in the therapeutic process, and the ways in which it might be undermining established therapeutic practices, to the detriment of patients and clinicians. We focus on two recent stories – one of a woman whose AI convinced her that her psychotherapist was in love with her, and another of a man whose AI convinced him he had invented a new kind of mathematics, and in doing so, alienated him from his family members. Both stories pose the same question: What happens when a patient trusts, and feels safer around an AI chatbot than the people in their community who want to help them?

Chris talks to us about the politics of the Online Safety Act, what it means for the future of internet access, and how it sets a path for future governments to be more authoritarian with online regulation. In the second half of the episode, the lads talk about Trump’s recent posts on Truth Social, in which he officially becomes a stan in the Sydney Sweeney hive, and why sometimes it’s nice to take a long melancholic walk on the roof of your house by yourself.  Listen to our episode on the Online Safety Bill here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/online-safety-ft-76250172 Follow Chris on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/stokel.bsky.social/post/3lkqxfwlhm22w ------ PALESTINE  AID LINKS -You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below. https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate -  https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict -Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity -Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla https://www.waterislifegaza.org/ -Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848 -Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thamra-cultivating-resilience-in-gaza -------- PHOEBE ALERT Okay, now that we have your attention; check out her Substack Here!

Mattie returns to the show to talk about her early memories on the internet, and how it shaped both her work, and her posting. We talk for a surprising amount of time about Labubu, digging into its lore, as well as working out how to spot a fake one. We then talk about about Mattie’s latest graphic novel, ‘Simplicity’, which examines cults, communities and what it means to go and find yourself.  Purchase a copy of Simplicity here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/739012/simplicity-by-mattie-lubchansky/ Keep up to date with Mattie’s work at :  https://mattielubchansky.com/ ------ PALESTINE  AID LINKS -You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below. https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate -  https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict -Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity -Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla https://www.waterislifegaza.org/ -Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848 -Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thamra-cultivating-resilience-in-gaza -------- PHOEBE ALERT Okay, now that we have your attention; check out her Substack Here!

She tells us about the hobby, what the LARP community looks like, and how it accommodates newbies and veterans. She tells us about the virtue of meeting your online friends in real life, and how these kinds of communities can provide a comforting, protective space, in part because of how it is deliberately removed from the social relations that mediate our online lives. But first, Phoebe has a wonderful new Goo to tell us about.

Sociologist and political economist Will Davies joins the show to talk about his recent forays into Faragist TikTok, and what it tells us about Britain’s online habits, and how it’s influencing contemporary politics. Will talks to us about how the For You Page became the dominant organisational system for using social media, and how this has created an anti-social environment. He also explains how online induced paranoia seeped into the real world, convincing people that they are being scammed and persistently lied to, resulting in an angrier, more confrontational politics that nobody, including Nigel Farage, knows how to contain or control in the long term.

We can't, and we needed to be reminded by instagram to even realise. So, to celebrate, we gathered questions from our loyal listeners, and today we're finally getting to the bottom of: What kind of poster would Yukio Mishima be if he were still around? What kind of posts do we miss the most? How has the show changed now that we're both parents, and if we entered the babies into a baby contest, what would they win?

Rebecca returns to the show to talk about her recent attempts to reclaim her attention from screens and notifications, and whether it’s truly possible to build an attention span at all. We discuss the developing literature and research around attention, and what is meant when we talk about focus, delve into the great debate on declining literacy rates & whether we are heading toward a ‘post-literate’ society, and whether the small, but growing number of people trying to better manage their time online might be an effective starting point to challenge the algorithms.
