We brought @rushkoff on the pod to discuss his iconic 'Program or Be Programmed' book — recently reissued on @orbooks! — and how to preserve our agency as humans in a digital landscape that is constantly threatening to override it https://t.co/ENb3cBUqVC

Last day to get half off on paid subscriptions to celebrate our 4th bday If you are someone who loves the pod and believes that we need independent outlets that aren't afraid to dissect and critique the contemporary media and cultue industries, we'd love your support https://t.co/4H7baCkP0B

For this week's pod, we had a fascinating and candid conversation with Brandon Hagen from @Vundabar_band about what it's like when a song you wrote 5 years ago goes viral on TikTok https://t.co/ksTK7QCZ1v

Friends, we are back with a new batch of episodes! To kick things off: We had the honor of speaking with @astradisastra about her new book "The Age of Insecurity" — and how material and psychic insecurity became the defining experience of modern life. https://t.co/b7AtllN2lY

We brought on @bcmerchant to dig into the strange story of the California Journalism Preservation Act—and how deals between news publishers and AI companies, and AI more generally, stand to impact journalists on the ground. https://t.co/PIDQ8tHRWI

So excited to share this week's episode! We chatted with one of our all-time music journalism heroes — @SimonRetromania — about his new book, 'Futuromania,' and how electronic music, much like sci-fi, can tell us a lot about our past, present, and future https://t.co/i6hLlMOYBI

On this week's episode of @culturejourno, we went deep with @being_on_line and @drewmillard on the history of the font meme in music, Kamala's brattification, and the complicated question of whether memes can actually make an impact at the ballot box. Enjoy! https://t.co/3sYRtZovyv

PART TWO OF OUR KIM'S VIDEO MINI-SERIES IS HERE! Listen to me read an essay I wrote in 2014 about my experiences working at Kim's Video as a teen, the downtown NYC counterculture of the early 2000s, and the highs and lows of cultural gatekeeping. https://t.co/cOjFDiG1fo

This week's episode is extremely close to my heart. We spoke to 'Kim's Video' director David Redmon about the story of NYC's greatest video store (which also happened to be where I worked my first summer job), the era of tangible media, snooty clerks, and a lost East Village. https://t.co/k5BgHoMN2R

On our latest @culturejourno episode, we go deep with @UMAW_'s @dada_drummer about the bill that could (finally) regulate Big Streaming, disrupt the winner-take-all economics of digital recorded music, and get musicians paid https://t.co/GzRgIwcWi6

Low-key announcement of this week is that the @culturejourno now has a Discord called CUJOPLEX, an online hangout zone where folks who like talking about the evolving state of independent music, culture, and media can congregate, share links and talk about the news of the day https://t.co/w9vCvi75Hb

NEW EPISODE We chatted with @kieranpressreyn ab the rising Gen Z musical sensibility he is calling "shitpost modernism," joyful nihilism, semi-accurate music meme pages, and how artists are using lore & internet attention-hacking to drum up excitement in a post-journalism world https://t.co/EHJWLFQO5a

We brought @future_of_music on the show to give us a little primer on Lina Khan and why so many of the issues impacting creative workers rn boil down to antitrust issues Plus: Ticketmaster, the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, streaming, and other policy fights https://t.co/SEPNe2Ex7X

Cord Jefferson's Oscars speech about Hollywood risk aversion reminded us that we'd recorded a crazy-good interview with him on the subject (among other things, including his Gawker days + work on Succession) a few years back.
