Description

Email, texting, and social media have made our world smaller. But have we lost something in the age of instant messages?
Maksim Jovovic created the website Get A Pen Pal, a place to match with someone interesting from anywhere in the world and engage in slow, deliberate letter-writing. Sure, the communication is still digital, but these "letters" take days to go back and forth, use collectible stamps, and encourage rich communication, rather than just, "sup?"
Alli and Jen ask Jovovic about his inspiration for the site, the community that's growing there, and why now is the perfect time to rekindle the magic of corresponding with pen pals.

If it exists, there's probably a huge Internet community obsessed with it. 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!
