Is Cancel Culture Real? + Audio Exclusive! [Minisode]
Dagogo is travelling this week - and for good reasons too. He recently got nominated with Coldfusion at the Septimus Awards for Best Content Creator for which he is in Europe at the moment. And as such - there’s no new episodes this week. However, we knew there will be weeks like this, so we have a few pre-recorded minisodes where we discuss topics around the usual themes of tech, business and culture. We have two minisodes on this one - one about the rise and fall of voice-based social media platforms and another one on cancel culture! So sit back enjoy - and we will see you next week.

We are BACK with a full length episode this week - but with a bit of a twist. As we get back to full health, we decided to record this virtually so the audio/video quality will suffer a bit but hopefully will be good enough for you to listen through the whole thing. This week, we talk about Do Kwon's possible prosecution, Imagen vs. Dall-E2, weekly Elon Updates, if "recession is a good thing", and answer some really cool questions from you all.Enjoy the episode!
