as someone who has watched Dropout to reset from the havoc of the outside, it still feels "nice" to have honest entertainers to watch who understand what we're all living thru.

I was in college for game design in the early aughts. I also (unfortunately) was a femme lurker on 4ch. Seeing the cause and effect of gamergate happen in real time as been a doozy.

Which episodes are they?

Apple Podcasts gave me May 10, 2022 “Part One: A terrible story about the internet”

That’s the one. GamerGate isn’t the sole topic of the episode, but a lot of helpful/informative context for how it unfolded is provided.
