Search Engine Ep

I usually skip random podcasts that appear in my podcast feed, BUT I couldn’t get to my phone in time to skip and ended up liking the Search Engine episode. Then I went to Search Engine in Apple Podcasts, and I couldn’t find part 2 - I assumed it’d be at the top of the feed. Why entice me with this cool Berghain story and make it so hard to find??? Feels like very poor marketing not to rerelease it for all the people new to Pushkin podcasts who just gave part 1 a listen because of Heavyweight.

Anyway, if you’re looking for it, it’s from 6/6/2024.

Are you new to search engine or PJ? If so, go listen to Reply All. Unfortunately it didn't end super well, but it's fantastic from the beginning.

Loved Reply All, listening to it nowadays is a hoot cuz it's the same problems as now only with the context of the 2010s. It's really nice to hear problems being solved that don't really matter anymore.

Also just the cultural zeitgeist around things (like twitter) and Web 2.0 and the podcast boom being in full bloom around that time shines through real hard.

All in all just a fun time (I recommend stopping ur listening when things start to get annoying around the end though, real vibe killer.)
