    From Troll To Terrorist: Joshua Goldberg And How Ideology Corrupts Online Media

    Criminal complaint

    Joshua Goldberg – Medium

    Note: After this episode was released for Primos, Joshua Goldberg clarified that he is not the founder for r/PhilosophyofRape. “Rest assured that I am not now, nor have I ever been (and nor will I ever be) a rapist. Troll, yes. Rapist, no. Of all of the bottom-feeding plankton that I am surrounded by in prison, the sexual predators are the ones that I despise the most.” Apologies to Joshua. The episode has been corrected.

Informative and irreverent in the best way

Jesse, Katie and their guests bring humour and perspective to a variety of stories with major emphasis on online madness and the characters populating the reactive, polarised war-zone of social media. They bring refreshing irreverence and healthy skepticism to everything they cover with a background touch of personable (if lovingly insult heavy) chat that adds character and a string of continuity.
Overall highly enjoyable, but not for the easily offended!
