Jamie Loftus' 'main characters'

Endless Thread

Comedian, best-selling author and podcaster Jamie Loftus joins Amory and Ben to talk about her latest endeavor: a podcast called Sixteenth Minute (Of Fame). Jamie talks to people "who became briefly notorious on the internet about how it affected their mental health, amongst other things," she says.

Loftus explores the timing and context in which these "main characters" of the Internet, as she calls them, went viral and asks what their virality says about us, the people who helped — made? — them go viral in the first place.
