The Secret History of the Internet: Al Gore, Anime, and the French- Seemingly Unrelated Ep 14

On this very special seasonal episode we are digging into the unrelated tales that make up the internet as we know it. We'll be answering questions no one has ever asked while sober such as:

What is the internet anyway? How does it work? Does it have to work this way or are there alternatives? What is, and always has been, the most popular thing on all the different forms of the internet regardless of time, place, language, or really any factors?

That's right we'll be globetrotting all episode long to hunt out the secret, alternative, histories of inter-network connectivity on this extra special episode of Seemingly Unrelated.
