Welcome to Season 5 of There Are No Girls on the Internet We're kicking things off with a powerful and timely conversation. Bridget speaks with activist, entrepreneur and creator Kiandria Demone, the visionary behind the viral #SquareUpForJustice campaign. After a white woman in Minnesota hurled a racial slur at a 5-year-old Black child and then raised nearly $1 million online, Kiandria stepped up to challenge the systems that made it possible. Her campaign holds payment platforms accountable for enabling and profiting from hate. In this episode, Kiandria explains why this isn’t just a race issue—it’s a tech accountability issue. She shares how her digital activism is helping expose and shut down racist profiteering, and what it means to find strength in online communities during heavy times. . .

This week, senior correspondent at Vox Alex Abad-Santos and Bridget Todd, host of the podcasts ‘City Cast DC' and ‘There Are No Girls on the Internet,' spill the tea on Kate Middleton's photoshop debacle, a proposed TikTok ban and the World Banana Forum. Plus, Noel Fielding stars in the new Apple TV+ comedy series ‘The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin.' You may know Noel as the sweet, eccentric host of ‘The Great British Bake Off,' or from the deeply strange sketch show ‘The Mighty Boosh.' Noel plays Dick Turpin, a historical figure from the 18th century who robbed carriages. In this retelling, however, he trades violence for sparkly blue spandex and faces magical threats. We talk to Noel and executive producer Kenton Allen about comedy, being a middle-aged parent and knitting.]]>
Lena Dunham is in the news, which means a particularly sticky misleading claim about her is, too. We have no strong position on Lena Dunham, but we are solidly against misleading claims. In this best-of episode from last year, Bridget sits down with producer Mike to explain the origins of the idea that Lena Dunham abused her little sibling, why it persists, and why it matters for the rest of us.

Bridget Todd (podcaster) joins the show to tell us about how she acted on a feeling many of us have had: frustration with Neil deGrasse Tyson's lame posts to the point where she needed to block him.

As Mr. Peanut Butter might say: “What is this, a crossover episode?” When she isn't hosting There Are No Girls on the Internet, Bridget is having conversations about life in her hometown Washington DC on another podcast project called City Cast DC.

She doesn't take any money or advertising dollars, so her reviews are always no BS, never bought. For City Cast DC, Bridget and Jade discussed how she's building an online empire as a woman of color (without losing herself in the process).

But it is coming. We decided that maybe Jo's birthday isn't the most impactful day for women to shut down the Internet and truth be told we also got cold feet since we've seen a lot of failed internet strikes this summer. But don't worry, we picked a new day for all of us to shut it the f*ck down. In the meantime Jo did a guest appearance on Bridget Todd's podcast "There Are No Girls on the Internet" talking about a strange corner of the Instagram influencer world dedicated to #tradwives, women who channel the false nostalgia of the fifties in order to promote the patriarchy and keep women in a dark and subservient place. Stay tuned at the end of the episode when we announce the actual Women's Day Off the Internet. It's a good one. And happy birthday to Jo!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Thursday, a jury determined that conspiracy theorist and radio host Alex Jones will have to pay $4.1 in damages to the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting. That sum represents a tiny percentage of the profits he's made lying about their tragedy on his show Infowars for the past decade. But even while on trial for lying, he still couldn't stick to the truth. Join our newsletter: Tangoti.com/newsletter Want to support the show? (thank you!)

In the 4th installment of the January 6 hearings, we heard from Ruby and Shay Freemen, election workers in Georgia. Trump and his allies (including a Kanye West “associate” ) baselessly accused them of vote tampering in the presidential election. Their testimony is a heartbreaking reminder of the human cost of disinformation, conspiracy theories, and lies. Want to support the show? (thank you!)

https://www.tangoti.com/ (There Are No Girls on The Internet) is an award-winning podcast about people who have always been at the forefront of technology, but whose stories are often ignored or misrepresented. That's a big and sometimes contentious field, and TANGOTI host Bridget Todd says it's important to make space for everyone to work through difficult conversations about inclusion, rather than expecting everyone to "get it" right away. "I've been in social change movements for a long time and I do think we have this expectation that we expect people to show up with the right ethos and the right language and the right perspective," Bridget says. "And I get that, but I also feel like it doesn't leave room to hear the messy conversations of how people become smarter, better, more nuanced, and more thoughtful." Today on Follow Friday, she explains how to use social media when disinformation is circulating after a tragedy, how she has evolved her thinking about politics online, why she's optimistic about a new online platform for the first time in a while, and much more. She also shares four great follow recommendations: Early podcaster and co-host of https://uhhyeahdude.com/ (Uhh Yeah Dude) Jonathan Larroquette (@jonathanlarroquette on Instagram); political pundit and former The View co-host Meaghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain on https://twitter.com/MeghanMcCain (Twitter) and https://www.instagram.com/meghanmccain/ (Instagram)); comedy writer and Showtime TV star Ziwe (https://twitter.com/ziwe (@Ziwe) on Twitter); and Somewhere Good CEO Naj Austin (https://www.instagram.com/najaustin/ (@najaustin) on Instagram and https://twitter.com/najjmahal (@najjmahal) on Twitter).

Award winning podcaster, Bridget Todd, sits down with The Two Jess(es) to talk about how marginalized people show up online, and how disinformation (purposely spreading incorrect information to further one's agenda) and misinformation (spreading inaccurate information with no intention of causing harm) is really a racial, gender, justice and democratic issue. Bridget created her critically acclaimed podcast, “There Are No Girls On The Internet” to explore how marginalized people show up online in response to the lack of diversity in conversations around social media platforms and misinformation. There is no shortage of conversation points as Bridget shares openly about her own experiences with dis- & mis- information as a woman, and particular a woman of color. Bridget shares about what it means to be a good steward of the internet and how critically important it is to us as a society to slow down, take a beat, and ownership considering what could be true and what could be false, and how we share both with our communities.Meet Bridget!Bridget Todd is a frequently cited expert, trainer, and speaker on combating disinformation, conspiracy theories, and extremism online advocating for social media platform accountability. Creating safer digital experiences for women and other marginalized people as well as celebrating and amplifying marginalized people's contributions to tech and the internet is what caused Bridget to create her critically acclaimed podcast There Are No Girls on the Internet to explore how marginalized people show up online in response to the lack of inclusion in conversations around the internet.
