Before starting rabbit h0le, Emily and I hosted a little show over at Vice called Cyber.

Towards the end of February 2024 we heard a rumor that everyone would be fired and the site would be deleted. It turned out half of that was true. When we knew our days were numbered but before they’d revoked access to everything else, we recorded one final episode of Cyber with Tim Marchman, Anna Merlan, and Mack Lamoureux.

We dished on what it was like to work for Vice, the last days of a failing media empire, and the perils of modern journalism. The episode lived for a few days before, finally, it was pulled from the air.

Of course, we saved a copy of it. Here it is in all its glory.

The rumors of the website’s closure felt very real at the time and many of the journalists who’d worked at Vice were bad about saving their work. We needed a fast way to archive it all. Thankfully, two incredible software engineers—Chris Cummings and Karen Gault—stepped up to help us save everything.

The story of how they did it is our first piece of Patreon content! Click the link below to subscribe and hear the tale in full from Karen and Chris. There might even be a weird aside about Mormon investments in nuclear weapons.
