Never Post

Charts & Leisure

A podcast about and for the internet, hosted by Mike Rugnetta read less

Our Editor's Take

Never Post is a podcast that wants to act as a local newspaper for the internet. It's not a place for breaking news but to talk about what's happening in the digital sphere and why. Mike Rugnetta collects a panel of experts, from journalists to researchers and professors. They discuss current events, local infrastructure, public opinions, and other subjects.

The goal of this podcast is not to show the internet to its listeners or explain it. Instead, Rugnetta strives to understand what's happening alongside his audience. Together, they can complain about the internet and attempt to make it better.

The host of Never Post started his career in digital media in 2007. Rugnetta's first role was as a cast member for the popular web series Know Your Meme. Later, the host wrote and produced Idea Channel on YouTube, which won several Webbys. He's worked as a researcher for YouTube and Vine and wrote for Vanity Fair. Rugnetta's experience both as a digital creator and an observer provides him with a distinctive perspective. The host uses that knowledge to explore and investigate the internet in this podcast.

Never Post explores the internet's cultural power and how it affects its users. For instance, one episode analyzes how anyone can become a journalist online. Rugnetta speaks to Dr. Joan Donovan, whose research focuses on misinformation. They discuss how gossip can become a conspiracy and what it means to exist in a monoculture.

Another episode examines the influencer phenomenon. Rugnetta talks to a sociologist about the reason people follow influencers. He also interviews two YouTube creators about people retiring from the platform and how they adjust to new forms of media.

Rugnetta believes that the internet is an amorphous version of a hometown. For many people, it's where they live, work, and make friends. With the podcast Never Post, the host wishes to give a voice to the fascinating people from this town. He's not coming from a place of judgment but one of curiosity.

ICYMI x NP: How Kate Middleton's Disappearance Redefined Monoculture
This week, we got TWO episodes coming at you - one today and one on Saturday. Both are a collaboration with the incredible team at the Slate Podcast ICYMI.In today's episode, the first of our collaboration, Mike guests on ICYMI, where they break down one of 2024’s biggest internet stories and ask: what's the recipe for a rare monocultural event?It's been more than a month since Kate Middleton announced she'd started preventative chemotherapy treatments following a cancer diagnosis. Which means it's also been just over a month since conspiracy theories about the princess ran rampant across the internet. As an increasingly algorithmic internet silos us further into our own little content niches, all-consuming events like Kate Middleton's disappearance are fewer and far between. So what does it take, in 2024, to capture the internet's attention and create these rare monocultural moments?ICYMI is produced by Se'era Spragley Ricks, Daisy Rosario, Candice Lim and Rachelle Hampton.---To get ahold of the Never Post team:- Call us at 651 615 5007 to leave a voice mail- Drop us a voice memo via airtable- Or email us at theneverpost at gmail dot com- See what interstitials we need submissions forNever Post's producers are Audrey Evans, Georgia Hampton and The Mysterious Dr. Firstname Lastname.

Mere driving on the freeway is in no way the same as participating in it. Anyone can “drive” on the freeway, and many people with no vocation for it do, hesitating here and resisting there, losing the rhythm of the lane change, thinking about where they came from and where they are going. Actual participants think only about where they are. Actual participation requires a total surrender, a concentration so intense as to seem a kind of narcosis, a rapture-of-the-freeway. The mind goes clean. The rhythm takes over. A distortion of time occurs, the same distortion that characterizes the instant before an accident.Except from The Bureaucrats, by Joan DidionNever Post is a production of Charts & Leisure ★ Support this podcast ★

We respond to listener comments about independent media co-ops, the disappearance of tween fashion, posting disease, influencer voice, mourning online, and human height throughout history.--This conversation contains a single, brief mention of suicide.--☎️ Call us at 651 615 5007 to leave a voice mail🗣️ Drop us a voice note via airtable📧 Email us at theneverpost at gmail dot com🌐 Leave a comment at neverpo.st----Nick's thoughts on "Never Post" and the internet:1. One interpretation of ""Never Post"" is that it's like the internet version of the taoist wei wu wei which translates to something like ""do by not doing" and reminds us how often trying to accomplish something makes us less likely to succeed. You install a Ring camera for safety and now you're always paranoid. You complement someone for saying something smart and they stop speaking because they're afraid of sounding dumb.The historian/political scientist/anarchist James Scott borrows the term "iatrogenic" from medicine to describe how many of societies' attempts to control rivers (e.g., levees) only cause the rivers to become more unruly.Iatrogenic illnesses are ailments caused by medicine or medical care. Iatrogenic systems are ferociously hardy because simple attempts to solve them just feed them. You can think of the capitalist work ethic where the only way (besides inheritance) to secure a life of financial independence outside of capitalist pressures is to dive head first into the capitalist waters and work hard at a lucrative job for a long time (see adherents of the FIRE movement).Social media seems like a classic iatrogenic system. You dunk or subtweet an egregious post and it makes the poster post more. The truly skilled poster posts by not posting. Never posts. Learning not to repost bad posts is a major spiritual milestone for the internet citizen.2. An irony is that if the best way to steward the internet is to never post, doesn't the internet disappear under ideal stewardship? Derrida's "Structure, Sign, and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences" tries to solve a related problem in postmodern discourse. The problem is, every deconstruction, no matter how profound, rests on some logical/linguistic "center" that itself is not real or stable. So every deconstruction can itself be deconstructed and you just have infinite regress. If postmodernists know this, what's even the point of writing for each other any more?Derrida's solution is freeplay which is about recognizing existience as full of other world with their own "centers" that are yet all connected. A mistake is anchoring yourself to any of those single centers. Freeplay is hopping worlds with "the joyous affirmation of the play of the world and of the innocence of becoming, the affirmation of a world of signs without fault, without truth, and without origin which is offered to an active interpretation".--Never Post's producers are Audrey Evans, Georgia Hampton and The Mysterious Dr. Firstname Lastname.
