Remember finding your “people” on forums? When the entire internet didn’t sound like LinkedIn? Burning CDs? Going outside without being tracked?
@serrels@phoebe.snapdragoness and I chat @mixtape.game , tech nostalgia and AI writing taking over the internet on tonight’s #DownloadThisShow - catch it at 5:30pm AEST on @abcradionational or anytime in @abclisten (or wherever you get your podcasts!)
On this week’s #DownloadThisShow we chat in-game photography, the return of wireless headphones, and ask: is AI really taking people’s jobs?
Also, the latest stories making headlines in the Download Tech News Bulletin AND tech that’s brought us joy this week (because there is good stuff, I promise)
@serrels is in the studio while Kath Albury joined us online. You can listen tonight at 5:30pm AEST on @abcradionational or anytime on @abclisten or wherever you get your podcasts 🙌🏽
I want to introduce you all to something myself and @sweaterjack have been working on.
A PRINT MAGAZINE about video games and video game culture.
We know things have been bad for games writing recently. We're asking, "do you want to Continue?"
We want to build a platform for existing and emerging writers and illustrators to do their absolute best work. We want to create THE best possible magazine. We already have incredible people lined up. But we want you to get involved too.
Why a magazine? We know how weird things are online. We don't wanna worry about SEO or dwell time or AI swallowing up our work. We want to write the best possible stories without compromise and we want to make this thing look beautiful.
WILL YOU CONTINUE?!!

Big news!
It’s dream come true time for me and @rubyinnestrations !
Toilet Time Machine is coming to @penguinbooksaus !!!
For the past few months Ruby and I have been putting together the ultimate version of Toilet Time Machine. Heaps of new chapters, loads of glorious new illustrations and NEW COVER! We’re unofficially calling it the GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION.
To say I’m stoked is a huge understatement. Working with Penguin has been incredible and I cannot wait to see Toilet Time Machine on store shelves.
You can pre-order the new and improved ULTIMATE Toilet Time Machine at the link in my bio. Do it or I’ll be extremely passive aggressive.
CHEERS!
On this week’s #DownloadThisShow - @serrels !
We’re looking back on the week in tech and asking - why?
From OnlyFans to Grindr - why are politicians popping up on unexpected platforms during this election campaign?
Why is Big Tech building water-intensive datacentres in some of the driest places on the planet?
Why might Google be forced to sell it’s Chrome browser?
And why are robots racing humans in half marathons?
Catch it on @abcradionational at 8pm, or anytime on the @abclisten app (or wherever you get your podcasts!)
Thank you for listening and for your kind reviews, y’all are the best 🙏🏽
Yooooooo, I wrote a kids book!!!
I partnered up with amazing genius person @r.ubyinnes and we created Toilet Time Machine. Think a poop-fueled Back to the Future and you're halfway there. I'm so stoked with it.
Link is in bio if you want to buy it. And you should lol.
Science genius, master of the mew, refuser of haircuts. In my unbiased opinion, the funniest boy alive.
"If people say I'm weird I just say, 'thanks for the compliment!'"
