About this listen
The internet used to be a place that you physically went to, and now it’s accessible 24/7, often located in your very own pocket. Jordan starts out the episode by sharing an update on her first scheduled film screening of Can’t Look Away, and Helen cracks us all up with a joke. NSYNC fans will appreciate this episode because Jordan takes us back to her days sending out a weekly email newsletter on AOL. We reflect on our own early internet experiences and screen names, which leads to Helen sharing a memory of being left out by some of her “friends.” Jordan and Helen then discuss ways they currently use the internet for learning and connection with others. Helen talks about how parasocial friendships can result from people you follow online. We hope you leave this episode understanding that we don’t think all internet is bad, and there are still ways to use it to better ourselves.
