I thought I was Very Online, and Kathrine continues to show me sides of the web I’d never seen. She’s doing great work as an internet sociologist. Great pod if your goal is to delve into these type of conversations.

Katherine Dee is thoughtful and incisive. It’s clear that her commentary is the product of years of nuanced interrogation and immersion into contemporary culture. A truly unique voice.

The Computer Room is about the Internet and culture and is really a history of some aspects of our time. From Lanza-lore to Peating and everywhere in between. Just a pretty incredible span with a host and guests who’ve all spent too much time on the Internet.

Katherine Dee is a charming, intelligent

started off alright and had interesting guests speaking on experience existing in niche online communities over the past few decades, but now i just kinda think the hosts have nothing going on up there. i've never heard people so old act so much like edgy tweens. the levels of self idolatry is wild as well, the hosts just have a minor twitter following and really revel in it. deeply sad people. the majority of guests speaking as specialists on specific topics now just state outright debunk-able nonsense, and (in the manner of rogan) are met with "oh really? wowww that's crazy". even the hosts speak as authorities on subjects they demonstrably know nothing about about, even silly trivial things (but they dub themselves internet elders, so why would they have to research what they're speaking about?). sometimes i listen when my regular podcast rotation is dried up, but at this point it's just to experience schadenfreude.

it is rare that i come across someone who is obviously more deeply versed in internet culture and history than i am, but the host is a true expert. i have an intuition that she will be widely recognized as such in coming years. one of the few shows i always listen to through to the end. highly recommended 👍

Join this obv privileged(yet somehow extremely uneducated) zoomer in their journey through the worst of TikTok & other horrible holes on the internet. All while thirsting for the tumblr days yore. Somehow it’s not only lame, but extremely boring! You’ll be begging for everything min back you lost listening to this thrash. She gives genZ a bad rap. 👎

Stop interrupting her

Cool guests and great host with a distinct point of view

Default Friend is good on her own, but what made After The Orgy really special was The Personality Girl. Or rather, the friendship between the two — it’s so rare to hear the conversations of real friends who have known each other since childhood, and especially rare that they’re both really smart and interesting. Try to get her back, will you?

I really love this podcast. I can’t remember the last time aesthetics/cultural criticism felt fresh. Every episode in the original format (df and pg, the hosts, discuss a couple of pieces of lit or cinema) has a ton of insight and has led me to look at lots of stuff I never would have touched, and revisit others with new perspective. The interviews are also fun, with a thematically unified and uncommon. The hosts deep, If complicated friendship underpins the whole show and creates moments of public vulnerability and mutual caring that are shockingly beautiful. These two are sharply perceptive about geological shifts in our culture that are going to prove very influential in the coming years. I’m really grateful to have discovered it and I really hope they keep it going.

Their corner of reality is so alien to me I wouldn’t normally have thought to find it interesting but their narrative on it is oddly fascinating to listen to.

Came here from Fedpost, very interesting and sincere conversations from behind enemy lines.

I am working a boring office job and this podcast is keeping my engaged. Great conversations.

Bad podcast by two morally bankrupt women who laugh about hurting people. Leave Curtis Yarvin alone.

Imagine red scare if the hosts could read, but were even more miserable. Would recommend for fans of bitter white women in their 30s.

and that’s good enough for me

I really enjoy the discussions about love on this podcast. In the episode about Marie Calloway there was offhand mention of ‘the essence of love being inefficiency’ and I have been thinking about that for days. Many such insights…. I look forward to continue listening to this podcast in the future.

Like all interesting people, both DF and PG manage to strike the perfect balance between being self-loathing and condescending.

Love this pod!

I listen to After The Orgy right away every time it downloads. It’s not like any other podcast, and if you don’t listen to The Personality Girl and Default Friend’s weekly conversation already, it’s what’s missing from your podcast feed. They are always entertaining and insightful, often funny, sometimes shocking, and frequently alternating from fun to profound.

This is the only conversation based podcast i have ever found remotely palatable much less enjoyed and i absolutely love it

After The Orgy finds a way to breathe humanity back into the world of podcasting. Whether they’re discussing art, culture, or social issues, they approach engaging topics without seeming superficial or pretentious, yet still maintaining an intelligent and coherent conversation. DF and TPG offer hope, inspiration, and commiseration to every (semi)young person trying to not lose their mind in the daily grind.

The ladies are smart, funny, and perceptive. I like getting a peek into their world - I never want to go there, but I will absolutely keep listening.

Most podcasts are either popcorn or propaganda. This is neither. DF and TPG are most honest and thoughtful than most. After the Orgy is easily in my top three podcasts.

A fun show with interesting hosts and conversation about a wide range of topics definitely worth a listen. If you are a millennial or a zoomer interested in nuanced opinions on current events give it a go. The one drawback is I thought it odd at first that the last 15 minutes of every show they spend brainstorming ideas for their erotic novel about two obvious self insert female characters living in a post apocalyptic US and being saved by and then seduced by a duo of Mormon missionaries that in their words are “giving them the good word”. But after a while you get use to the incredibly detailed and explicit sex scenes and can enjoy the plot.

Really interesting insights

Great perspective on all kinds of cultural stuff from the Obama-era of feminism from two whip-smart ladies. Enjoy the interplay between DF’s cautious and optimistic phrasing and TPG’s acerbic deadpan-ness as they toss around ideas. Required listening for every gal who had a tumblr and came of age in the 2010s

The hosts are wonderful and entertaining and I can’t get enough of their banter.

On After the Orgy DF and TPG diagnose the unaddressed issues faced by millennials and zoomers. They take the underdogs seriously, and take on the overdogs. They cover dating, career, lifestyle, culture and other things you’ll be surprised to learn about. They don’t claim to have the answers, but they aren’t afraid to tell it like it is.

I hate podcast culture, but ‘After the Orgy’ is genuinely necessary listening. The hosts are up-front, honest, and open (maybe too open but I wouldn’t want them to change), peeling back the curtain to look at things that are going on but we pretend not to notice. And before you get that impression, there’s nothing ‘dirtbag’ about it. The discomfort is real, not a bit, and the insights aren’t coming from the usual factory in Brooklyn. Check them out.

Do I sometimes wish one of them would edit out the myriad “maybe we should edit this out”s that surround a revealing moment? Absolutely. But that’s the only criticism I have for this podcast which features two super smart women talking refreshingly openly about many touchy topics. It’s the only podcast right now that I listen to immediately when it is released. The episodes have been eye opening, informative, and super duper personal. They speak without caution and eggshells, in short it’s a gift to us. I like imagining I’m the only man who’s listening.

Default Friend and Personality Girl have interesting, nuanced conversations that don’t depend upon tropes, outrage or politics. They have honest discussions (and sometimes argue. It definitely has a para social effect, like listening in to the table next to you at a restaurant.

Great podcast- raw and self-aware. Please keep going!

The discourse is thicc

Very good. I don’t know of any other podcasts in the same intellectual category talking about social trends in relationships.
