But they're not owned by anybody, and those ideals are being attacked. So Katie's asking: where is this all headed? And at the centre of it all...can Wikipedia survive?The clip used in the episode is from Wikimedia Commons and is published under a Creative Commons license. No changes were made.

Redditland | Ep 1 | Gamestop

In late 2020 a comment was posted on the social media website Reddit. It might have been inconsequential. Forgotten. But it wasn't, and soon the world's eyes were on the site. It tipped the first domino that, a few months later, would flip the stock market upside down and set Wall Street on fire. This is the story of David and Goliath, and the start of presenter Katie Puckrik's journey into the world of this lesser-known website - where communities flourish and irony reigns supreme.See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.Learn more about your ad choices.

Redditland | Ep 3 | The Fappening

It's 2014 and Reddit's at the centre of one of the biggest scandals to hit Hollywood. A hacker has released nude photos of over a hundred celebs onto the internet, and the sub 'The Fappening' has cropped up; the fastest-growing sub of all time. 'Celebgate,' people are calling it. Who was behind the leak, though, and why did they do it? And what do the leaks show about the strings Reddit pulls in the world around us Is the site a mirror of society, reflecting the good and the bad? Or is there a point where that reflection morphs into something more malign; so that it's no longer just a mirror for our ills, but a firestarter? Learn more about your ad choices.
