    1. 🍷 🍸 NPR Podcast with Jonah Peretti of BuzzFeed

    "In 2001, when most of us had no idea what it meant to "go viral," Jonah Peretti shared an email prank among his friends — and saw it spread to millions. That began his fascination with how information spreads, and set him on the path to launch two of the most powerful media organizations of the Internet age: The Huffington Post and BuzzFeed. Recorded live in New York City." * by Guy Raz on How I Built This, NPR

    2. 😎 😱 Why Aziz Ansari Basically Quit the Internet

    Via youtube.com

    "Aziz Ansari is something of a Renaissance man—he’s a writer, producer, comedian, actor, meme and more. But Ansari embodies the Renaissance in a more literal way, too: he’s gone analog. As he told GQ in a new interview, he quit Twitter and Instagram, removed the Internet browser from his phone and doesn’t even use email."
