Description

The History of the Web is a weekly newsletter that began as a place for coders to reminisce about CSS and Bulletin Board software.  But it quickly evolved into a definitive timeline of our shared online history. The story of the Web (the public-facing network of pages that everyone has access to) is arguably the most important sociological endeavor of our time. Alli and Jen chat with Jay Hoffmann, author of The History of the Web, about the proto-communities that formed online in the '90s around weblogs, browser wars, grief, and virtual pets.

In their quest to follow the Web's deepest wormholes, comedians Alli Goldberg and Lindsey Ford have hilarious and humanizing conversations with furries, geocachers, video game archeologists, TikTok witches, professional comment trolls, VR sex workers, and much more. They also explore the social, legal, and ethical ramifications of modern social media with experts and journalists. You can't un-hear this!
