Infinite Scroll

This episode was originally recorded for my other gig, The New Liberal Podcast . But I thought it was thematically appropriate for Infinite Scroll as well, so I wanted to share here. In this episode of the sporadically-released Infinite Scroll podcast, I talk with Congressman Jake Auchincloss about his new bill, the Parents Over Platforms Act . For the most part, I am someone who has been skeptica...

Today’s post is a podcast originally recorded at a live event the Center for New Liberalism held with Francis Fukuyama during their New Liberal Action Summit in Washington DC. Frank and I discuss whether or not the internet is to blame for the global rise of populism, how worried we should be about right wing control of the media, and what role young liberals have to play in solving these problems...

I’ve always been fascinated by etymology, linguistics, and language in general. And I’m obviously fascinated by how social media is changing society. So the new book Algospeak by Adam Aleksic is directly up my alley, and I got to sit down with Adam to chat about his book for this episode of the Infinite Scroll podcast.

As a companion to this weekend’s post about Russia’s fascist youth movement , I interviewed professor Ian Garner, author of the book Z Generation and expert on Russian propaganda. This was originally recorded for my other gig as host of the New Liberal Podcast , but I think it’s absolutely worth sharing here at Infinite Scroll as well. We talk about how Putin has gained total control over Russia’s...

As a follow up to my article from a few weeks ago Should We Ban Gambling on Smartphones? , I’ve invited Isaac Rose-Berman on the show to talk about gambling policy. He’s a fellow at the American Institute for Boys and Men and writes the Substack How Gambling Works . We talk about how we got the point we’re at now where gambling seems to be everywhere, whether or not we need to do something about i...

My other job besides writing here at Infinite Scroll is hosting The New Liberal Podcast, and this week I’m sharing an episode I recorded with Derek Thompson of The Atlantic. Together with Ezra Klein, he’s the author of the new book ‘Abundance’. We talk about the abundance movement - why it matters, the history behind it, and how it can succeed politically. This is one of my favorite episodes in a...

We’re back with another edition of the Infinite Scroll podcast. My guest this time around is Substack’s co-founder Hamish McKenzie. Even if you’re not a ‘podcast person’ most of the time, I think this conversation was fascinating. We get into the guts of what Substack is: Is it a neutral piece of technology that just sends out emails? Is it a new kind of social network? Does that distinction imply...

Today I’m sitting down with the author of the excellent Substack Cartoons Hate Her to talk a...
