1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Hi Sixteenth Minute listeners, Jamie here with a formal announcement

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: and a request from you. Okay, I'll go first. Starting

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: in a few weeks, Sixteenth Minute is going to go

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: on hiatus for a bit while we reconfigure the show

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: into a more seasonal format, because I absolutely love talking

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: with the Internet's characters of the day from week to week.

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: But as time has gone on, I've noticed that people

8
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: really seem to enjoy when I have the time and

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: the bandwidth to get deeper into a single topic about

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: Internet history. And if you don't feel this way, sorry

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: for gaslighting you, but the numbers don't lie. And honestly,

12
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: I am but one person, and I write and research

13
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: and record this show, and I edit the interviews, and

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: with the current format, it can be difficult to go

15
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: as deep as I'd like to, or interview as many

16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: people as I would like to without never sleeping. So

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: we're switching things up. After our hiatus, We're going to

18
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 1: be back with seasons of episodes going deep on under

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: explored moments or trends in Internet histories, talking about main

20
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: characters where there is a much larger context to look at,

21
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: and talks with those who want to make the Internet

22
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: a better place, not just a closer approximation of what

23
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: it was like when you were eleven years old. I'm

24
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: talking about digging into how internet culture has shaped the

25
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: way that court cases go as the new court of

26
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: public opinion. I'm talking about looking into the role of

27
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: the Internet with incarcerated people. I'm talking about really taking

28
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: a closer look at the areas of the Internet that

29
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: can't be tackled in a single week. I'm talking about

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: histories of niche internet communities that are misunderstood or fully

31
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: formed online. I'm talking about how the Internet has permanently

32
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: changed the way that we write and and soon news.

33
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: And that's just off the top of my head. But

34
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: I would love to hear what figures and what topics

35
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: you would want to hear about. I'm really excited to

36
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: do more in depth recording, and I also want to

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: give you, guys, what you're interested in, unless I think

38
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: it's boring, in which case I will ignore your suggestion.

39
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: But please, if you are a member of our reddit community,

40
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: our producer Ian is going to start a thread there

41
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: when this episode releases, and I would love to hear

42
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: what you want to hear more about But to close

43
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: out this iteration of sixteenth minute, I have a request.

44
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: There is one more weekly character episode coming out, and

45
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: we will continue to release occasional episodes in the interim

46
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: if we get an interview that is too good to resist.

47
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: But for now, I would like to hear from you

48
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: my question, have you ever been a main character of

49
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: the Internet on any scale, and if so, what was

50
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: it like? And if you haven't been. I would also

51
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: love to hear about how your relationship to the Internet

52
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: in general has changed over time, whether you're an Internet

53
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: native or not. I feel like for me it's been

54
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: like a relationship with a bad parent that has only

55
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: gotten stranger as I grow more and more dependent on it.

56
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: So in short, I want to hear your stories. I

57
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: want to hear about your favorite, your least favorite, your

58
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: changing memories with this big monster that's got us in

59
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: such a chokehold, and whether you feel if it's too

60
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: late to turn things around, whatever that means to you.

61
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: If you record a voice memo when you hear this

62
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: and send it to the email address small Ice Resurfacer

63
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com, it's in the description as well.

64
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: I will go through these voice memos and air my

65
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: favorites in our last episode before hiatus in a couple weeks.

66
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: So again, that email address is small. I see servicer

67
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. And more than anything, I really

68
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,800

Speaker 1: their time and in trusting me with their stories. It

77
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,200
