Political journalist Zoë Grünewald joins us to talk about the upcoming UK General Election, and why so many candidates are opting to run on hyper-online 'culture war' issues. Zoë explains how obsessions with social media among politicians and journalists has contributed to the eroded trust in politics, how an over-reliance on Twitter disincentivised holding power to account – and how all of this has driven the disconnect between Westminster and the rest of the UK.

Ten Thousand Posts is a show about how everything is posting. It's hosted by Hussein (@HKesvani), Phoebe (@PRHRoy) and produced by Devon (@Devon_onEarth).

Paris Marx returns to the show to talk about two AI conferences hosted by Google and OpenAI, and how both failed to provide any real evidence of why it’s any more than a chatbot with a voice, but also, why this doesn’t really matter to tech companies, and the government’s appeasing them. Paris talks about the consequences of AI software integrating into every public service we have, and how this will change our relationship to the internet - one where you are no longer a ‘user’, but a consumer stuck in an endless feedback loop in service to the AI. Sounds bad imho!

To commemorate Phoebe’s final episode (before she goes on maternity leave, not forever) we take questions from you. We discuss some big questions about the internet, whether one’s decision not to post still counts and posting, and if the age of vertical video discourse will make our lived experiences more bizarre than they already are. Plus, and most important of all : what are the bizarre foreign snacks we really love and wish were available in the UK?

Journalist and author Joanne Mcneil returns to the show to talk about her novel WRONG WAY, which was among the New Yorker’s best fiction of 2023. Centred around the proliferation of ‘self-driving’ taxis, the novel is an exploration of precarious work and social alienation, and the ways in which the technocratic ruling classes leverage this distancing to assert power and control, even as they prove to be inept and corrupt.
