Interview: Taspop Vox Pop

Media Mothership 11 June 2026

We discuss the surprise success of Backrooms and what it means when a YouTube creator and a creepypasta can outperform major Hollywood franchises. We also examine Studio Ghibli's controversial restrictions on photography at Ghibli Park, and look at a recent experiment where AI models were placed in charge of a simulated society—with dramatically different results.

Episode 153 was recorded live at Edge Radio 99.3FM studios in Hobart Tasmania, and first aired on 4 June 2026.
