OG OT: Pouring one out for the loss of Triangle Sports Twitter

Episode 119 Published 2 years, 4 months ago
Description

The Verge debuted a special series titled “The Year Twitter Died", covering the highs and lows of the social media platform. The central premise is that 2023 will be viewed in history as the final year of Twitter, both literally and figuratively, and coming to terms with the technology's impact.

Joe Ovies and Lauren Brownlow use Nilay Patel's "How Twitter Broke The News" as a jumping off point to discuss how Twitter was utilized in the North Carolina sports scene over the course of 15 years. It helped their careers, created real-life friendships, and rewired how they watched local sports. And as the platform slowly fades into the dustbin of history, they ponder what's next.
