Episode 9: Disney Fan make Disney Plan at DisneyLand

Disney Superfans are likely the most socially acceptable forms of fans in the United States. On this week of the Weird Internet Podcast, our internet explorers explore and discuss the enormous cult-like following that Disney has developed, enhanced, and supported over their nearly fully century of operation. Their presence is much larger than any other community that Jorrel, Jandro, and Chris have ever explored, so they've focused their efforts on a place close to home and also the place that started it all, DisneyLand.

Episode 7: You know what rhymes with MetLife?

In this week's episode of the Weird Internet Podcast, the Internet Explorers have to reach very deep inside themselves to understand this surprisingly active and wholesome community, Fetlife. The community with 10,000,000 users is dedicated to the education and information on all things fetishes, kinks, and other sexual adjacent topics. Come join your internet explorers as they do their best to understand the community and in the process understand themselves.

 

Episode 6: What does Eminem and Kpop have in common? Stans

In this episode of the Weird Internet Podcast, the Resident Internet Explorers are forced to come to terms with the fact that stans are a phenomena not contained solely on twitter. Since time eternal (since 2000), stans have been around praising and idolizing people to an obsessive and toxic extent. There is no limit to their reach and there is no limit to their ability to send fancams on topics completely unrelated to them. Join them as they dive into this community and try to understand what Kpop Stans are trying to accomplish by flooding someone's newsfeed with fan made videos of their favorite idols dancing.

 

Episode 5: Elon's Musk, found at your favorite standom near you

As an internet explorer, you see many things in the internet ecosystem. You see trolls, you see memes, and more often than not, you'll encounter a wandering Elon Musk Stan, desperately searching to convert and evangelize an unprepared soul. Why do these stans try so hard to be right? What do they get from engaging in this worship? Who stands to benefit from all this? All these questions hopefully answer soon. Come listen in this episode to the internet explorers as they try to break down and once again, attempt, to understand how Elon Musk and what Elon Musk.

 

Episode 4: WE LIKE THE STONKS, what the heck is a wallstreetbets?

In late January 2021, the world had eyes on the GameStop ticket $GME. An unprecedented event was occurring that would forever change the way that people understood market forces and the powerful unstoppable force that is internet memes. At the center of this chaotic situation, a subreddit by the name of r/wallstreetbets only had one thing to say to all those watching and cowering in fear of its infinite meme potential: "We like the stock."

 

Episode 3: Furries. That's it, that's the title.

The furries community has been in existence since the dawn of the internet. Tracing its roots back to Kimba the White Lion, this community has only flourished and become stronger over the years. Listen as the internet explorers attempt to break down this community and try to understand why this phenomena has only become more and more popular over the past 5 decades.

 

Episode 2: Tech and VC Twitter, you love them, hate them, and join them

Tech and VC twitter is one of those communities that appear on trending every so often because they can't seem to get enough of themselves. Jandro, Jorrel, and Chris find themselves wondering if somehow this is just the LinkedIn culture reemerging with all the Gen Z and Millennial glory that has been hiding in the bushes all these years. Join them as they breakdown and philosophize this peculiar phenomena.

 

Episode 1: #VanLife

Come join us as we discuss the #VanLife phenomena which has made a resurgence during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Starting in 2011, the #VanLife began as a simple lifestyle hashtag, which was aimed to showcase an aesthetic wanderlust and nomadic destiny trekking across the vast expanse: being one with the road and nature...

That's definitely something else.
