Marginalized voices have always been at the forefront of the internet, yet our stories often go overlooked. Bridget Todd chronicles our experiences online, and the ways marginalized voices have shaped the internet from the very beginning. We need monuments to all of the identities that make being online what it is. So let’s build them.

There Are No Girls on the Internet

Would you rather marry Musk, Zuckerberg, or Bezos— and other burning listener questions answered

There’s a gender gap when it comes to who is using AI at work. Are women being left behind? The research isn’t so cut and dry.  

Bridget takes a look at what we know and what it means with Samantha and Anney from Stuff Mom Never Told You.

Women Use AI Less Than Men at Work. Is That a Bad Thing?

Bridget and Mike had conflicting and surprisingly strong feelings about self checkout machines. And it turns out, listeners do, too! We got more emails about this seemingly low stakes topic than any other. Why did this touch a nerve?! We don’t know but there’s something there, and we’re here for it. We read some listener emails, which make great points for and against. Are these machines dystopian symbols of our crumbling social connectedness? Or are they convenient devices for buying groceries, and maybe the real dystopian symbols were the capitalist overlords we met along the way? You be the judge!

Why We’re Fighting About Self Checkout – Best of TANGOTI

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/4d9c724a-18f7-4c3f-a27a-b3bf00021c45/transcript

After Diddy’s acquittal, social media decided it needed a villain. And who better than a random woman?! Through a case of mistaken identity, digital marketing strategist and former journalist Wynter Mitchell-Rohrbaugh, who had nothing to do with the trial, became the target of viral accusations and lies. 

In this episode, Wynter tells her story of how misinformation, speculation, and Internet outrage collided in real time to pull her into a social media storm, and she breaks down what it means for our broader digital media landscape.

Diddy was acquitted of his most serious charges. The Internet blamed a woman who had nothing to do with it.
