About this listen

 Journalists Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal scour the internet for its craziest, silliest, most sociopathic content, part of an obsessive and ill-conceived attempt to extract kernels of meaning and humanity from a landscape of endless raging dumpster fires.

Jesse, Katie and their guests bring humour and perspective to a variety of stories with major emphasis on online madness and the characters populating the reactive, polarised war-zone of social media. They bring refreshing irreverence and healthy skepticism to everything they cover with a background touch of personable (if lovingly insult heavy) chat that adds character and a string of continuity.
Overall highly enjoyable, but not for the easily offended!

Informative and irreverent in the best way
