ICYMI: How Kate Middletons Disappearance Redefined Monoculture
This week, ICYMI and the\xa0Never Post podcast\xa0are collaborating on two episodes surrounding 2024\u2019s biggest internet monocultural moment: Kate Middleton\u2019s disappearance. It\u2019s been more than a month since Kate\xa0announced\xa0she\u2019d started preventative chemotherapy treatments following a cancer diagnosis. Which means it\u2019s also been just over a month since\xa0conspiracy theories\xa0about the princess ran rampant across the internet. As an increasingly algorithmic internet silos us further into our own little content niches, all-consuming events like Kate Middleton\u2019s disappearance are fewer and far between. So what does it take, in 2024, to capture the internet\u2019s attention and create these rare monocultural moments?\nThis podcast is produced by Se\u2019era Spragley Ricks, Daisy Rosario, Candice Lim and Rachelle Hampton.\nThis episode was made in collaboration with the Never Post team, which includes Hans Buetow, Mike Rugnetta, Jason Oberholtzer and Wil Williams.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
