The Wild Hunt News

Journalist Alex Coyne describes how podcasts offer intriguing stories but lack the editorial standards of traditional media, often blending fact and fiction. From the original Satanic Panic to its revival in South Africa, unchecked narratives can quickly spread fear, misinformation, and lasting societal harm.

The group chats that changed America
semafor.com/article/04/27/2025

"their influence flows through X, #Substack, & #podcasts, & constitutes a kind of dark matter of #American #politics & #media. The group chats ... are the single most important place in which a stunning realignment toward #DonaldTrump was shaped & negotiated, & an alliance between #SiliconValley & the new right formed. The group chats are “the memetic upstream of mainstream opinion”"

Text from article (edited for length): And it was just another day in Chatham House, a giant and raucous Signal group that forms part of the sprawling network of influential private chats that began during the fervid early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, and which have fueled a new alliance of tech and the US right. That same week in Chatham House, Lonsdale and the Democratic billionaire Mark Cuban sparred over affirmative action, and Cuban and Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro discussed questions of culture and work ethic. This constellation of rolling elite political conversations revolve primarily around the venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and a circle of Silicon Valley figures. None of their participants was surprised to see Trump administration officials firing off secrets and emojis on the platform last month. ... But their influence flows through X, Substack, and podcasts, and constitutes a kind of dark matter of American politics and media. The group chats aren’t always primarily a political space, but they are the single most important place in which a stunning realignment toward Donald Trump was shaped and negotiated, and an alliance between Silicon Valley and the new right formed. The group chats are “the memetic upstream of mainstream opinion,” wrote one of their key organizers, Sriram Krishnan, a former partner in the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (typically styled a16z) who is now the White House senior policy adviser for AI.
