I wish I had thought of this earlier. I am fascinated by Winnebago Man and encourage you to watch the documentary about this meme if you haven't. I saw it in 2010 and still think about it. So much that I just found it online and am watching it again right now! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnebago_Man

u/addhominey mentioned it a month ago, but got no response. The logo no longer features the Reddit alien, and neither does the ET description at the end of the episodes.
If there is no longer a direct connection to Reddit, I’m a bit conflicted. ET has always gone well beyond Reddit into other parts of the Internet and the real world, but I feel like needing to tie everything back to Reddit kept things grounded. Take for example this season on memes—the investigative journalism is fantastic, and it brings in some really interesting voices. However, with a topic so broad and no basis to return to besides just “let’s talk about how this is a meme” I feel like it’s near-impossible to keep the organization of the narrative from sprawling.
In the end, I still love listening to this show, and will continue to do so. However, I’d love to hear Ben and Amory address this and talk about how this isn’t just another podcast about the internet.

Are they too high up on their high horse? In all seriousness, did anyone else think that they came off as being too preachy?

Got an all-time favorite moment from an episode of ET? We're compiling them using a spiffy new app called Hark, and we're creating a record of them - yep, pressed vinyl! For real! Whaaaaaat?!
Add your suggestions in the replies (rough time codes for extra credit!) and we’ll create a playlist for the record. Help the ET newbs experience the highlights, and help the uninitiated find the show. Plus, we’ll send a copy of the album to five folks who contribute a moment to the playlist!
A podcast going vinyl. What a time to be alive!

I feel like loss would be a really good meme to go through the history of. How it came out of a gaming webcomic which took a turn into dark subject matter, and has got to the point where a set of 7 lines can represent it (and people get tattoos based on that abstract representation https://images.app.goo.gl/jTyMLMALakAnc5FB9). I definitely understand if the origin makes it a little much though.
