[PREVIEW] Bromley Chicken Yaoi ft. Josh Boerman

Actor, writer and avid 10kposts listener Jassa Ahluwalia joins us this week to talk about his new book, "Both, Not Half: A Radical New Approach to Mixed Heritage Identity". A memoir looking back on code-switching, navigating multiple cultures and identities throughout his adolescence, and later, as an up-and-coming actor in London, it also examines the role that class consciousness through union organising helped develop Jassa's identity as a worker in a precarious creative economy.  Jassa talks about the process of writing his book, the public reactions to his comedy videos on Youtube going viral via Indian Whatsapp networks, and his experiences working within a union to take on certain notable right-wing figures.

As the far right surges across Europe, we look at Germany, where fascist electronic music has become a sensation on TikTok, and memefied in other parts of the internet – and ask, why is the government ignoring this? Uma, from the podcast Corner Späti, explains how Germany got to this point, what its reactions and responses to Palestine protests tells us about how it is reckoning with its past, and what contemporary digitally-driven fascism suggests about the next decade in European Union politics.  -------- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Comics artist and cartoonist Rory Blank joins us on this weeks free episode as we ask: What is an AI image, exactly? Rory and Hussein discuss why the "All Eyes On Rafah" instagram post became the first 'viral' AI image, despite its inconsistencies, inaccuracies and lack of specificity. Rory explains how these features characterise the AI 'art' taking over the internet, why its proliferation is so difficult to regulate, and why we shouldn't see these images as creative outputs, but rather, a way to understand the confusion and detachment that comes with being on the internet today. -------- Check out Rory's Patreon here! https://www.patreon.com/roryblank -------- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Comedy writer Mollie Goodfellow talks about her early experiences on the internet, which largely amounted to luring unsuspecting men into the woods of Runescape and beheading them for fun.. We talk about the transition between social networks and how it shaped our real-life social experiences in the suburbs, why being 'Myspace Famous' didn't translate to Facebook fame, and whether the exposure that comes with going viral for an online joke is worth being yelled at for weeks afterward. -------- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Youtube essayist Tom Nicholas joins us this week to talk about vaping and specifically, how the excesses of contemporary internet culture, guided by the philosophies of liminal capitalism, can explain the prominence of disposable vapes. Tom tells us how vaping went from a means to manage addictions to a new kind of addictive behaviour, how and why attempts to regulate vaping have so far failed, and why the vaping lobby is taking its cues from none other than the gambling industry.  You can watch Tom’s video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuTQbOo3Y30&pp=ygURdG9tIG5pY2hvbGFzIHZhcGU%3D -------- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

This is a preview of a bonus episode. Find the whole thing on our reasonably-priced patreon! Political journalist Zoë Grünewald joins us to talk about the upcoming UK General Election, and why so many candidates are opting to run on hyper-online 'culture war' issues. Zoë explains how obsessions with social media among politicians and journalists has contributed to the eroded trust in politics, how an over-reliance on Twitter disincentivised holding power to account – and how all of this has driven the disconnect between Westminster and the rest of 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.

Paris Marx returns to the show to talk about two AI conferences hosted by Google and OpenAI, and how both failed to provide any real evidence of why it’s any more than a chatbot with a voice, but also, why this doesn’t really matter to tech companies, and the government’s appeasing them. Paris talks about the consequences of AI software integrating into every public service we have, and how this will change our relationship to the internet - one where you are no longer a ‘user’, but a consumer stuck in an endless feedback loop in service to the AI. Sounds bad imho!

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.
