Punching Down 0003

Punching Down is a podcast (and some accompanying notes) on media from Justin Beck and Eve Batey. In Episode 3 (which is actually our fourth podcast! and it's an hour long!) we meet with author, columnist and podcaster Violet Blue in her kitchen to talk about how she navigates the online hive of scum, villainy and sexist trolls. But before that, Eve leads a discussion on the future of the San Francisco Examiner, which was recently bought by a Canadian newspaper company. You'll also get to hear Justin, under the influence of doctor-prescribed muscle relaxants, try (and fail!) to utter a coherent sentence. Show notes: 4:18 - Examiner sale 28:14 - Trolls vs. women 55:03 - Justin squeals with delight upon learning about Eve's Game Boy Camera
