A (mostly) weekly podcast about the Internet, by way of Reddit: the front page of the Internet. Each episode, u/ItsYerDad, u/MyFreeday, and u/DogBoobes discuss a different Subreddit, and the subcultures that this subreddit is about…kindof.

episode 41: 41: r/place - the only real hope for humanity at this point
On April 1st 2017, something remarkable happened. While the Internet lords of Reddit always create social experiments to hype their loyal anons, this year was different somehow. With only a 1000x1000 pixel canvas, and a few strict rules, Reddit created one of the most powerful and sociologically interesting pieces of art we've ever seen, and a landmark moment in Internet lore. Place dawned wars, allegiances, memes, a basic good vs. evil struggle against the eternal void that is 4chan, and more impressively than probably anything, overshadowed the premier of the third season of Rick & Morty. That dear listeners, is a feat.
