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 112: 112: r/imsorryjon, our quick descent into a cyber dystopia, and u/itsyerdad pitches futuristic ad ideas for Starbucks and Carl's Jr.
As the world slides deeper into the pit of unsustainability, technology-fueled discontent, and a general Mad Max-esque immediate future, the Internet tells the story of our existential angst with it all through Lovecraftian interpretations of Garfield. With more and more posts from r/imsorryjon making their way to Reddit's elite rankings on the front page, we thought it was high time we dig into this bizarre trend, which coincides perfectly with u/itsyerdad's spiraling anxiety-induced depression. We're all Jon in this scenario, and our self-inflicted demise is characterized in an increasingly horrifying Garfield, while our hopes and dreams for a better world filled with pre-extinct wildlife, a living wage, and vegan pizza that actually taste good is encapsulated by a pathetic and half-sentient Odie. Plus, u/itsyerdad has a new ad campaign for Starbucks, and the gang dreams of living on top of a Home Depot. This episode brought to you by Koch Industries.
