This episode is hosted by Ken, Mario, and T. Today we have on Dale Beran (http://twitter.com/daleberan), author of a book about "chan culture" called It Came From Something Awful (https://www.amazon.com/Came-Something-Awful-Accidentally-Donald/dp/1250189748/). The book discusses sites like 2chan, 4chan, 8chan, Tumblr, and how much of the online culture involving memes, the alt-right, irony twitter, and SJWs got their start at a site called Something Awful.
