Wendy ChunCast FanPod Ryan Manning

This is the first episode of Wendy ChunCast FanPod, the unofficial Wendy Chun fan podcast. Ellis Hamburger is the first guest for a few reasons. One reason is cause he works for Snapchat. Using Snapchat for the first time back in 2013, I could see the possibility for a paradigm shift in online communication, and that fueled a lot of my curiosity in these directions. Another reason Ellis is the first guest is cause he’s the only one of my friends that owns a Wendy Chun book. We talk about the first chapter from her most recent book, “Updating to Remain the Same: Habitual New Media” Topics include: The Snapparatus, twitter, memes, habit, addictive design, neoliberalism, economy, The Verge, Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace, democracy, filter bubbles, algorithms, interface design, synchrony, asynchrony, sociological organisms moving calendrically through homogenous empty time, and more! Hope you enjoy the convo! Leave some feedback or any sort of reaction to our interaction
