We've been reaching out to people to interview on The Internet Is Dead Podcast via cold emails. It feels like opening up a world when we connect with one new individual who we never would've met in person. The Internet has created something so significant and life-changing in the sense that most humans who you find online are available to you if you just ask for them. You never realize the impact that one friendship has until suddenly you do.
Interviews include Current Joys, William Craver, Summer Mckeen, Nicole Rafiee, Lauren Brodauf, Marcus Maddox, lotsofhands, TAGBOW, Sugar Pine 7 (forthcoming), Hotline TNT (forthcoming), Horse Jumper of Love (forthcoming).

For the past six months, I've been investing the majority of my free time outside of my 9-5 job into deep conversation and research into what created the online spaces we currently exist in. Although social media is more popular than ever, internet fame has taken on a whole new meaning. There were once widely recognized names in the online world. Due to how saturated the internet has become, this is a rarity. Becoming internet famous in 2024 looks wildly different than it did in 2014, an era where people posted solely with passion and genuine motivations, prior to YouTube monetization and overall over-consumerism, where getting big was hardly an active thought.
I started a podcast with my best friend, building from the ground up, where we explore these topics from the perspective of two early 20's girls who were raised online. And we're also trying to get Josh Ovalle on as a guest.
We've chatted with Summer McKeen, Nicole Rafiee, Current Joys, Lowertown, Lauren Brodauf, Seth from Greer, William Craver, TAGABOW, Marcus Maddox, Josh Jackson, lotsofhands, Uncarley, @, and have interviews upcoming with Hotline TNT, Horse Jumper of Love, Sugar Pine 7, Tina Hand, and more.

Started this with some friends as a college radio show and now I’m just trying to talk to as many niche celebs as possible. We’ve got episodes with Chanel Beads, Hotline TNT, Podcast About List, Jack Wagner, and a bunch others. Go peep!

if you're tired of the fart-huffers that usually pass for "public intellectuals" in american discourse, doomscroll podcast (and all of joshua citarella's work) is probably the breath of fresh air you've been looking for. it certainly is for me
each episode centers around an interview with someone who's in some way at the crossroads of politics and the internet, and the range of guests he's got on is immense - established academics, random internet weirdos, the guy from The 1975 - but he's always able to ground their conversation in the larger context of the modern age. it genuinely feels like a piece of media for our time, instead of engaging in the infantile 60s counter-culture cosplay that a lot of these projects tend to fall into. can't recommend enough

First question we ask is What's The Worst Thing You've Done To A Woman? Usually, some guy says he respected her too much. Then we say: Do You Believe In Karma? If they weren't hooked in before, now they are. In for the kill... Could I Get A Video Of You Meowing?
Compilation video coming soon.

We miss chronological feeds. We miss forming community through internet friends and groupchats. We miss being fans and spending our lives obsessing over our faves. In an attempt to bring these things back to the surface, we're spending more time on open forums and less time with algorithms. So...... neocities blogs (brittany's here & sameera's here) and discord and perfectly imperfect. And more than anything, we're trying to spend time reminiscing about these days of early spirit and community. Maybe if we talk about it enough, it'll work its way back into existence. There's a reason why everyone misses it so much.
