Why is everything a TikTok theory? Is this brand my friend? What is Club Chalamet doing right now? Is Mastercard a queer ally? Does Clavicular wax his chest? Whatever niche internet drama is clogging your feed, you need The Slop; the show that dives headfirst into the doomscroll so you don't have to. Every Friday, culture critic Michael Sun, online creator Lena Tuck, and journalist and Triple J newsreader Jack James surrender their (increasingly smooth) brains to the algorithm to make sense of the latest internet and pop culture. The Slop is for the chronically online, the aspirationally online, and everyone who spends enough time on the feed to know something strange is happening, but not enough to figure out why everyone's suddenly arguing. Did I do something wrong? Embrace the brain rot or touch some grass. We're with you, babe. To watch episodes of ABC podcast The Slop, search 'triple j talks' on YouTube.
