  • The Internet’s Favorite Fictional Presidents

    The Internet’s Favorite Fictional Presidents
    Nov 2 2024
    Candice Lim is joined by Pop Culture Debate Club host Ronald Young Jr. to reveal their favorite fictional presidents of film, television, and the internet. Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook were historically platforms rife with presidential meme content. Since the 2016 election, however, there seems to have been a shift in the way the internet talks — or doesn’t talk — about the commander-in-chief. On today’s episode, ICYMI is recollecting the best rom-com presidents, the best action hero presidents, and the TikTok presidential ship that will never, ever die down. This podcast is produced by Se’era Spragley Ricks, Daisy Rosario and Candice Lim, with production assistance from Alexandra Botti. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • The Breakup Reddit Can’t Stop Talking About

    The Breakup Reddit Can’t Stop Talking About
    Oct 30 2024
    Candice Lim and Slate culture writer Nadira Goffe dissect the drama surrounding country singer Zach Bryan and his breakup with Barstool Sports personality Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia. On October 22, Bryan announced via Instagram Story that he had split from LaPaglia, which did not surprise certain corners of Reddit who had been discussing alleged Raya profiles and recent ominous podcast comments. But multiple online communities were praying for the downfall of this relationship, asking: How much of this celebration is warranted, and how should an online figure react when people openly await their demise? But first, Nadira details her reporting from the Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest this past weekend.

  • How to Thrive as a Party of One

    How to Thrive as a Party of One
    Oct 26 2024
    Candice Lim is joined by Meghan Keane, the founder of NPR’s Life Kit and the author of Party of One: Be Your Own Best Life Partner. We’re approaching “cuffing season,” a viral term that demarcates those colder months when everyone in your life suspiciously couples up. While it’s bred a whole economy of cozy, staying in vlogs and soft (or hard) launches, what happens to those who choose not to cuff up this season — or ever? On today’s episode, we’re talking about what it really means to choose yourself in a world that pressures us to partner, and how the internet helps or hurts this narrative thanks to friendship breakups, dating app screenshots, and unfiltered Reddit advice.

just when I was starting to like them

this episode left me feeling annoyed. "all the words are Black/LGBT words. it's hard to trace the actual origin of words and we only know 1 for sure has a documented Black origin. but all the words are Black/LGBT words."
"it's cringe that they used cringe. I can't believe how cringe it is. isn't it so cringe?" 😒
and the solution to using the current internet vocabulary without commuting cultural appropriation: give money to black people and be Bruno Mars.
