Description

Real life archivist (and our editor!) Allison Mills tells us how we preserve the internet, prompting Amanda to have an existential crisis about memory. Then, we return to the "maybe NFTs are bad, actually" corner with an update on Metabirkins, the overpriced NFTs of the overpriced handbags, which met their fateful end in an historic court ruling.

​​Wow If True is your one-stop internet culture shop, hosted by meme sommeliers and real-life besties: tech journalist Amanda Silberling and terminally-online attorney Isabel J. Kim. We dig into what, where, and how something's going viral, and why what’s happening online matters in real life. New episodes every other Wednesday.
