Remember Vine? Internet personality Benedict Townsend dives into the mystery behind the disappearance of this video-sharing app along with the enormous impact it had on the modern world. Through conversations with journalists, users, and even one of Vine’s founders, Townsend uncovers the truth behind its shutdown and answers longstanding questions. The documentary podcast talks about alternate names for the app, and its influence on both TikTok and contemporary online culture. After his investigation, Townsend leaves us with this message: “What we found was so much weirder, so much more sinister, and so much more downright silly than I was ever expecting.” —Henry McGrath
