Show Notes
The Links Between Us (Algorithmic Identity, Goncharov, and Tumblr) With MEMExpo looming tomorrow, the Digital Folklore gang pulls an all-nighter trying to piece together a presentation. They speak with Dr. Cassandra Pfeifer about identity and online communities, as well as the effect of algorithmic content curation on our sense of identity. Then, they call up Lauren Shippen and Cherokee McAnelly from the Dashboard Diaries podcast to talk about Tumblr's uniqueness as a platform, and Goncharov - the greatest mob movie never made. Plus, loads of easter eggs from the internet era of the early aughts!
In this episode:
The mystery of the 'p' in 'pH'
None Pizza with Left Beef
How the current college-age generation views their online folk groups vs their offline folk groups.
The way algorithms effect our worldview, and vice versa.
Goncharov - Martin Scorsese's most important film (that he never made).
Tumblr's unique userbase & culture.
Guests:
Dr Cassandra Pfeifer, author, educator, and folklorist.
Lauren Shippen & Cherokee McAnelly, hosts of the Dashboard Diaries podcast.
