Description

This week on the show we're getting into it with everyone’s least favorite internet friend — THE ALGORITHM 🙈

To do that I'm joined by Kate Smalley, a small business advisor, educator, and facilitator, who recently wrote a great piece about getting out of your algorithmthat had me thinking more about what algorithms actually do and how we can work with them rather than against them.

Today Kate's here to help me explore:

• What an algorithm even is
• How algorithms function on social media
• Why it feels like "The Algorithm" is working against us
• Collaborating with algorithms for expanded possibilities
• How it feels to be stuck in your algorithm & ways to get unstuck
• Our fave non-algorithmically-mediated spaces

Mentioned in the episode: Algorithms by Panos Louridas, The Social Dilemma, Are.na, Sublime, Readwise
