This is a preview of a bonus episode. Listen to the full episode on Patreon at www.patreon.com/10kpostspodcast.

Hussein talks to the writer and podcaster Jay Caspian Kang about his early memories of being on the internet, and how its shaped his thinking about life today.
Jay talks about spending time on hip hop forums and participating in text-based rap battles, and how the New York blog culture of the 90s and 2000s took him from writing novels into long-form journalism.
Jay also talks about his recent article in the New Yorker, which examines how an obscure surfing spot near his house became on online phenomena among amateurs, and how this change can explain the way online culture has subsumed political discourse, to the point where its now just people yelling at each other for reasons they can't quite explain.
