Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Remember when the internet felt fun. That noise you associate
with getting online back in the day, that dial up
modem noise, that was like my cry of freedom. I
can still hear my mom screaming at the top of
the stairs, get off the dang computer. I'm trying to
make a call. But that really was it for me.
It was freedom. Remember when getting online felt like freedom,

(00:22):
community and connection instead of feeling like a slog that
you wish you could quit but feel like you can't.
How did we get here? I'm bridgitad and since twenty twenty,
I've been answering questions like these on my award winning
tech and culture podcast, There Are No Girls on the
Internet and iHeartRadio podcast that chronicles technology, the Internet and
social media that actually centers the diverse artists, creators, researchers,

(00:46):
and advocates who are building better writer digital futures. We're
talking about technology and social media's impact on culture from
influencer fueled fast fashion.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
This system of fast fashion wouldn't exist that influencers to
the polarized, often toxic online discourse that's wrecking all of
our mental health and threatening our democracy.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
One of the most destructive things that TikTok specifically has
groomed people into doing is viewing political content as solely
through the lens of those like clap back videos that
lots of people do right.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
The Internet is not just created by coders and tech companies.
It's created by all of us who use it every day.
It can and should be a force that connects us.
So why does it feel so toxic? And who benefits
from the hate and mistrust that are rampant on social media?
I created There Are No Girls on the Internet because
the Internet belongs to everyone, all of us, and I

(01:44):
wanted to spotlight the creative women, black folks, queer folks,
and others who are creating and building at the forefront
of the Internet to make that shared promise a reality
for all of us. Our fifth season is launching in
May twenty twenty five. Listen, I don't need to tell
any of you that there are some big change is
happening in our world right now, and we need an
Internet that helps us face them together. So I hope

(02:05):
you will join me and my guests on There Are
No Girls on the Internet as we explore where keech
went wrong, where it went right, and how we can
build a better, brighter Internet for everyone. I think it'll
be a good time and we'll find connection like we
have in a long time. Listen to There No Girls
on the Internet on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or
wherever you get your podcasts.
