Destroy All Clickbait Adam Prosser

- Society & Culture
It's out there: clickbait. Articles, headlines, and websites so desperate for your clicks and eyeballs that they'll say anything, no matter how loony or obviously wrong. And sometimes it's not the sites but the newsmakers themselves pulling this...
With Destroy All Clickbait, we dredge up the worst of this informational slurry and try to make sense of it. Or just make fun of it.

Episode 37: Exeunt, With a Great Explosion of Bull Semen
So it goes. Destroy All Clickbait takes its bow and comes to the end of its run with a special bonus-sized episode (edited out of several sessions). But we cover a lot of ground here, from UFOs, Simpsons memes and golden toilets, plus the big question of whether the Joker movie is socialist, or something? It's been surreal, y'all!

Episode 36: The Day The Hogs Went Feral
Destroy All Clickbait is preparing to come to an end and this will be our second or third-last show, but you know we had to go out with a bang...that's right, it's our show about the infamous 30-50 Feral Hogs. Plus, space tardigrades, action movie metrics, and an extended rant about Peter Jackson's Hobbit movies for some reason.
