Ten Thousand Posts is a show about how everything is a form of posting, and how all our lives are guided by the only dialectic that matters: good posts and bad posts.

Posters of History: Yukio Mishima ft. Joe Kassabian
Joe Kassabian, host of the Lions Led By Donkeys podcast and sci-fi author, comes back on the show to talk about Yukio Mishima, once Japans most famous novelist, who led a failed project to restore imperial glory to the country- only to be booed and commit Seppuku.
Joe talks to us about what Mishima's novels, and their preoccupations with death, tells us about his eventual fate. He also tells us about how Mishima developed the Shield Society, a private army of guys who were dedicated to getting shredded, and all in love with Mishima. Of course, we also talk about Mishimas posters impulse, and why it seems to resonate so much with the terminally online right today.

[PREVIEW] Glycine Dreams ft. Edijana Obiakpani-Guest
This is a preview of a bonus episode. Listen to the full episode on Patreon for as little as $5, at www.patreon.com/10kpostspodcast.--------Edi returns to the show to update us on posting in China, and in particular, explain why a medium-sized factory manufacturing glycine went viral on TikTok.
Edi talks to us about how Chinese companies and factories use social media and how it differs from business in the Western world, how China's social media culture is even more driven by algorithmic consumerism than in the US and Europe, and how that has also shaped its unique influencer culture. Edi then explains how this might affect the US and China's ongoing conflicts about the future of the internet, and whether the proposed ban on TikTok may do little to prevent China's influence on how we all post online.

Posting Through Pregnancy ft. Sirin Kale
Journalist Sirin Kale returns to the show to talk about how and why content feeds change when a social media platform detects that you might be pregnant, and how weird, often dangerous content is targeted at new parents. Sirin shares her own experiences with navigating platforms while looking after a newborn, the comfort that it can provide new parents when other institutions are absent, and how to resist the abundance of online parenting content.

Customer Reviews
Ye
This podcast deserves a morbillion 5-star reviews
Eat your words but don’t go hungry
I subscribe and listen to this podcast and a few others in the category in order to stay up on social media culture because I for the most part do not partake. I think that when creators decide to start a podcast, the implication is that they think they have something to say and that the potential audience could benefit and learn from listening. I recently turned an episode of “10k” off in a rage, admittedly, because Phoebe was saying the word “like” after every word. If you care to get your opinion across to the audience, assume the best, which is that your audience is listening and engaged. When the diction devolves in such a way, it should perhaps be edited out of the podcast altogether. The words one uses are reflective directly of the thoughts one is having, so when I hear this coming from my speaker it sends the message that there are no more thoughts being had. One must practice both speaking and, most critically, thinking, before presuming that others should listen to one in order to avoid disrespecting one’s audience. I am grateful for the time and energy these and other podcasters put into thinking about popular internet culture and discussing it on podcasts because I (as a historian) spend most of my time engaging in other forms/ mediums and I prefer to hear about the internet through secondary sources. But Phoebe’s bored, self-satisfied, and intellectually lazy ethos (conveyed through her rhetoric) which I am criticizing does not qualify as criticism; I could just go to the internet myself if I wanted to feel so frustrated at the level of discussion.
It's all posts
That's all it is, critical thinking about insane posts. Pro/anti anything other than fascism is a bad faith reading.
