The First Ever Meme

In this very first episode of The History of Memes, host Brooklyn Edits takes you on a journey way before TikToks and X threads—to 1921, when what’s believed to be the first-ever meme appeared in a satirical magazine. From Richard Dawkins’ original definition of a “meme” to the early visual gags that still echo in today’s formats, this episode explores the origins of meme culture and what makes a meme timeless. Discover how a simple two-panel cartoon from a century ago paved the way for the chaotic, hilarious content we scroll through today.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
