Sophie is hosting this week and has managed to shoehorn an entire episode around a terrible joke she likes. This episode covers the powerful link between modern meme culture + Dadaism, online collectivism, what happens when community art lands in the hands of the powerful, and our three co-hosts living on very different parts of the internet.
