The Industrial Revolution and its Consequences pt.3: AITA

Get ready to dive into the world of reddit in this comedy podcast where Grant and Maia share Am I The Asshole? (AITA) posts relating to the theme of the Industrial Revolution and its Consequences. The podcast takes you through a humorous journey of civic lessons and parents spying on their children bringing about a wickedly comical production!

With elements of an educational podcast hidden between the lines of friendship humor, this podcast is for everyone who seeks laughter with learning!

Key Highlights

Hiking Horrors: Grant and Maia begin their podcast by discussing what they have been doing recently and approach the topic of hiking. They share anecdotes with each other about their own hiking experiences, and storytelling those for their listeners in the podcast. They tell their own horror stories when hiking past a group of judgy men and misplacing trails but make light of it with friendship humor reflecting the true essence of their comedy podcast.

AITA Posts: Moving on from their hiking adventures, Grant and Maia take turns reading aloud AITA posts on their podcast and discussing them with each other. They reflect on the different perspectives of the individuals in the posts, whether from the lens of a concerned parent or upset child in their podcast to understand how each individual think. Their podcast encourages listeners to form their own opinions to the shared stories as well.

Industrial Revolution and Unionization: Drawing from the elements of a history podcast, Grant and Maia discuss the unionization of workers as a consequence of the industrial revolution. They educate their listeners about the protest against unfair wages and the extent to which unionization is justice before it becomes dangerous. The comedy podcast doesn't let things get too serious though, with friendship humor and light-hearted jokes making the topics easier to understand.

Key Quotes

“It is rarely that information is dangerous but regularly, strangers on the internet are.”
“You are going to work for the rest of your life and once you start working, you are never going to stop until you retire and even then, maybe not. So if you don't have to work right now or for the next six months or whatever, don't.”
“How am I supposed to think existentially about every choice I've ever made if I also have to make banter?”
