An Anthropology of Gooners
Hello!
We have a new one for you.
A reporter spends a year diving into a subculture of young men online who unite around their extreme commitment to constant, unadulterated porn consumption. Why are they doing this, what is it doing to them, and what does their existence tell us about the internet we’re all stuck on?
The Goon Squad by Daniel Kolitz for Harper’s Magazine
A musical gift from Armen BazarianA great number of listeners wrote in after our episode, “The Obituary,” asking where they could find the piece of piano music that closes the episode. It’s an Armen Bazarian composition, and he has graciously uploaded it to his Soundcloud. There are a few more treats there for your ears.
A question for you (yes, you)This week, in the comments, please share stories of your own (non-pornographic) internet habits you would prefer to break.
Keeping the newsletter brief this week. We will be back with a story which we’re quite excited to share in two weeks.
thanks,
PJ
