Learning from internet hypes with Magdalena Pulz & Dennis Kogel

Magdalena Pulz and Dennis Kogel are very familiar with internet phenomena. In their podcast ‘Browser History’, they have devoted each episode to a meme or hype from social networks. In this episode of re:publicast, the two journalists take us on a journey through nostalgic stories from the internet. They get to the bottom of the question of what the first meme actually was and how this now everyday word could be defined. They also discuss the lessons that can be learned from studying seemingly trivial internet phenomena – and how trends and hypes reappear in different generations with a new face.
