Hi, I make a very good podcast that people here might like. Ephemera ＲＳＳ feed Genre: Storytelling / Internet / NPR-ish Release schedule: The 3rd Thursday of each month Description: Every month I release about 20 minutes of deep dive on an interesting story "that could've only happened Online". I've covered the viciousness of the One Direction fandom, what may have been the first suicide hoax online, what happens to virtual pet bunny rabbits when the server shuts down (they go into a coma and never wake up), Roko's Basilisk, and - in what I think is my best episode so far - Something Awful's very own Hawaii Yoga Village :goonproject:. Latest Episode: I just put out episode #7, "The Corrupted Blood Incident". It's about a plague that rocked World of Warcraft in 2005, but it's also about the scientific community's response to that plague, and the potential of MMO environments to be useful to scientific research. Please subscribe! You can find it wherever you find your podcasts. I don't even know all the places it's been mirrored to anymore. Oops! Stitcher? I didn't put it there myself, but it's on Stitcher now. Google Podcasts, iTunes, whatever. Knock yourself out.

Hi, I released a special report on Chinese internet surveillance. My podcast, Ephemera, is about stories that could've only happened online; this more heavily researched imprint, Splinternet, is about the efforts of states to impose control over the Internet itself. It's 25 minutes, not in any way a comprehensive overview, but I tried to speak to some cases I think are illustrative of a bigger picture. I don't know if by creating this I've become an enemy of the Chinese state; I think there's a non zero chance? So you might as well listen to it.

The show's name: Ephemera The show's website URL: http://storiesfromtheinter.net RSS: ephemera.libsyn.com/rss The show's genre: storytelling Release schedule: 20 minutes a month A brief description of what your show's all about : Ephemera is a cyberpunk, plunderphonics investigation of stories that could have only happened Online. From EVE Online and Goon Island to the Web's first big suicide hoax (1999!) and a digital bunny rabbits lawsuit, Ephemera tells bite sized stories about the ways people use the Web. This month I released episode 2 of a special report I've been doing called SPLINTERNET, which looks at the ways the World Wide Web is "fracturing into discrete groups no longer willing, or able, to connect". It's about Russian internet freedom post-Putin, and particularly post-Sochi, and the extralegal murder of journalists in Putin's Russia. Click the episode art to subscribe:

Hi! It's me again, that obsessive internet-history bitch. You may remember me from my podcast "ephemera", which tells human stories that only could've happened online, or my serious research-heavy imprint SPLINTERNET, which looks at the ways the Web is breaking into disparate groups no longer willing, or able, to connect. I just did part 3 in my very exhaustive and good SPLINTERNET series, this time about the EU, GDPR, and the right to be forgotten. Since my last post in this thread, I've come out with a couple more ephemera episodes, too: episode 13 was about the internet's first web community, and episode 14 was about a really awful wizardchan guy who went to japan to be homeless and die during the imminent apocalypse. Click the show art below for the RSS subscribe link, or the hyperlinks earlier in this paragraph for direct links. Thanks!

A couple new stories since I last posted here. The one I've just put out is about death and mourning and Facebook, and I encourage you to click around to, say, a story about love and hate on the internet's first web forum, or an in depth exploration of swatting and its dangers. Goons overlap my target audience a lot I think - I want to make NPR from the deep web, with every primary source at my fingertips in a way they just aren't with offline stories. Namaste

 Ephemera, the storytelling podcast about the Internet, has two releases since I last posted in this thread. Genre: Storytelling/NPR Duration: about 25 minutes a month The show's website URL: http://storiesfromtheinter.net RSS URL: http://ephemera.libsyn.com/RSS First, there's E20: America Is The Dark Souls Of Things You Can Walk Across, which is an infamous :goonstory: from this very website. The previous goonstory episode I did was very well received, and so episode 20 looks at the story of SA goon 'Muerte', who tried to walk across America to raise awareness of mental health. And then, released just this afternoon, E21: An Outward Expression Of An Inward Faith, which looks at our pandemic world and asks questions about virtually-mediated religious locations and congregation. There's a special focus on virtual reality and the sacrament of baptism. Please enjoy! Thank you.

Ephemera, the storytelling podcast about "things that could've only happened Online", has released several episodes since I last posted in this thread, and two episodes since my 'I'm a covid healthcare worker and don't have time for this' hiatus. I feel safe saying, "I'm back". Genre: Storytelling/NPR Duration: about 30 minutes a month The show's website URL: http://storiesfromtheinter.net RSS URL: http://ephemera.libsyn.com/RSS First, there's E22: Basically, no-one knows if HFT is good or bad., which discusses financial crime and a particularly notable incident of millisecond timestamps being incredibly meaningful to solving a mystery. Basically, if you love stories about finance AND stories about fibre optic cable, this is for you. E23: viral, I released just as Omicron was announced by the WHO as a variant of concern. It's therefore, obviously, only concerned with pre-Omicron stories about data and the "infodemic" that mirrors and follows our global pandemic. E24: Talking animals, released yesterday, discusses the psychic togetherness the Internet affords us as cyborgs, and asks whether or not there are similar psychic parallels between humans and nonhuman animals (with a brief closing detour into pseudoscientific attempts to communicate with profoundly mentally disabled adults). Please enjoy. Thank you.

Alan Smithee posted:kind of tangential to the topic, how are most people promoting their new podcasts? I had the vague idea of trying one out (as most ideas men go) but no idea the first thing about putting it out there

I've made another episode of Ephemera.  Genre: Storytelling/outsider art Duration: 25-35 minutes. The show's website URL: http://storiesfromtheinter.net RSS URL: http://ephemera.libsyn.com/RSS In this episode, I examine the phrase ", in minecraft," and try to solve what specifically this means (and says about embodied virtual space). Drawing together diverse threads (the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, COVID-19 science, participatory urban design, VR software, prosecutions related to the January 6th 2021 event, and the evolution of botnets in the past 15 years), I weave together an argument that "in minecraft" is simultaneously less 'real' than 'real life', but more 'real' than other psychically-mediated forms of virtual communion. I'm pretty happy with this one and think it's a good commute listen.
