Never Post

I am two episodes in and I already know that I am going to make time to catch up and look forward to the newest ep to drop. This is achievable because it’s a bimonthly podcast and there is only thirteen episodes so far. That said, I don’t think you need to play from the start. If you see a topic covered you like or are interested, listen to that one. I can guarantee an intelligent (but accessible), sincere (but sometimes humorous), discussion of the topic that you can start and finish on your average lunch break. Each ep has two stories/topics and they really make you about the influence (and sometimes lack of influence) of the internet in all its forms. I highly recommend, especially if you liked anything Mike Rugnetta has been involved with or shows like Radiolab. To steal from Joe Bob Briggs, ‘Five stars. Chris says check it out.’

This podcast is a lovely look into topics, ideas, and viewpoints I would otherwise have missed. It’s a delightful break from doomscrolling.

Quality show about all the stuff that happens because of the internet and everything that happens in order to make the internet happen. It’s like Car Talk or This American Life, but instead of talking about the whirring and buzzing in your vintage Studebaker or the whimsical ennui wrought by the de-industrialization of your town or city, it’s like looking at yourself from the other side of the screen while you’re doom-scrolling, post-composing, liking, tweeting, ticking-and-tocking, followed by the vacuous flutter in the quiet air after you’re done…and you contemplate the fact that you haven’t logged out of anything for more than a decade. Nice to know they get it, and that there’s more to it. Talk tech to me, team. It’s really good.

Never Post is a great show about the internet and how it shapes our lives in big and small ways. They’re not chasing the latest viral sensations, instead they dig deep and find really interesting stories and angles.
