100 - We Made It
Thursday Aug 10, 2023
Thursday Aug 10, 2023
We do the closest thing to a bonus episode. We get meta: lifting the veil on how we do the podcast, what we listen to, and the friends we’ve made along the way. Also lots of copyright, AI, and Georges Bataille.

097 - Scam Time - John Rogers and collectable photographs
Friday Jul 14, 2023
Friday Jul 14, 2023
This week we’re talking about John Rogers, a memorabilia mogul who flew too close to the sun (fueled by cocaine) by buying up newspaper photo collections and promising digital archives in return, while flogging the rarest photos for a profit. A warning to libraries and museums to be careful when a new digitization scheme rides into town!

Welcome to the first episode of Tender Subject! This week, we're going over the whats and whys of this podcast. Why cannibalism? Why aren't we talking about True Crime?
