From Catholic Blogs to Social Media Algorithms w/ Joe Heschmeyer
About this episode
Marc Barnes and Joe Heschmeyer discuss the transition from Catholic blogs to social media and the implications for community and content creation.
Marc Barnes and Joe Heschmeyer are from the old world of the Catholic blogosphere. With catchy titles like "Bad Catholic" and "Shameless Popery," the Catholic blogs were the place for long comment threads and an active community. Social media has made that community mostly obsolete, and social media is the default place where people go. In this podcast, they discuss producing content for social media algorithms and how to preserve and encourage attention. New Polity is running a summer sale on all our books and magazines!
