    Spiritual Narcissism

    In this episode, Jacquie explores how religious figures known for their hate and intolerance affect society through social media.

    Virtuality 3.0: SXSW in Austin, TX

    The SMO podcast team was at SXSW 2022 with the University of Arizona Wonder House. In this episode, Diana sets out to disentangle the culture of the city of Austin and the hyperconnected projection that is SXSW. Are they in a codependent relationship? What has SXSW done to Austin's music scene? Why do even tech-savvy people prefer f2f to online? And what does all this mean for the next frontier of tech experiences, Virtuality 3.0? Interviews with Austin residents and visitors include Thor Harris of Swans, Luke Savisky of the 1990 film Slacker, and the crew of the food truck Cocina de Carnival aka Big Bertha. This episode has considerable profanity! A censored version will be available at ivoices.org or https://ivoices.ischool.arizona.edu/social-media-and-ourselves. Big thanks to Thor Harris, Eric Redpath, Carlos, Paige Swift, Luke Savisky, and Pri. Also to Ravi, Ratziv, David, Jose Rodriguez and The Cocina de Carnaval Crew and their families. It was awesome being at the Wonder House, so special thanks to Misha, Joe, and the rest of the Wonder House team. Drums by Thor Harris were recorded in the spectacular installation "Volumes" by Ezra Masch. This episode of Social Media & Ourselves was produced by Diana Daly and scored by Gabe Stultz of the iVoices Media Lab, which is sponsored in part by the Center for University Education Scholarship at the University of Arizona.

    Metas And MasterChef

    In this episode, Gabe Stultz gives us an introduction to the world of Twitch. A site that dominates the live streaming world, the platform itself becomes subject to changing "metas," or trends in popular programming dictated by popular creators. With boundaries being pushed to create the hottest new trend, we run into the latest meta: the "react" meta, in which streamers are baiting DMCA strikes. Will they bring the wrath of copyright holders down upon all of Twitch, or is there no reason to panic? SMO theme composed by Gabe Stultz. Music in this episode by PR1SM. Produced by Gabe Stultz with a deep thanks to Dr. Daly for this episode's interview.

    Mary Louise and Sorority Surveillance

    "There's a lot of pressure on sorority girls in particular to perform and to act like a typical sorority girl. But in reality, they're just being surveyed and watched over at every second." Gabe Stultz and Prof Daly guide us through stories illustrating the three levels of sorority behavior policing and how they play out on Instagram, Snapchat, and Greek Rank. Transcript at https://share.descript.com/view/jl7lf7zFEdN. Produced by Diana Daly and Gabe Stultz, with deep thanks to the students who shared their stories. Citations: Berbary, L. A., & Johnson, C.
