Dead Internet Theory

September 22, 2026 · 1 h 39 min

Show notes

What if half the people arguing with you online aren’t people at all? This week, we dive into the Dead Internet Theory: bots, AI content, fake engagement, and the unsettling possibility that the internet is starting to talk to itself. How much of what we see online is real—and would we even know the difference?

Show shoutout: Check out Brohio listener Sonja Heisinger’s podcast, Songbook: Country Music… Reimagined. Sonja turns country songs into original short stories, then explores the songs behind them. Find it wherever you listen to podcasts or at sonjaheisinger.com
