From WBEZ Chicago, I'm Ira Glass, it's This American Life.
You know, we all find ourselves influenced, to some degree, by the internet. You yourself might be listening to this show on your computer, or through some podcast app, or what-have-you. But today we're gonna be doing something a little different on our program, it's gonna focus on a curious little thing hidden deep within the annals of the web we know and love, a little foray into a unique subculture, with its own rich history of inside jokes and infamous figures. It's called Showderp, and it's been going on constantly for about a year or so. Well, basically it's a bunch of guys who all have one person take the position of 'champ', whom is then watched by all the other guys as he battles strangers in a Pokémon simulator. There are a lot of memes, there's a lot of a memes, there's a lot of fun. And the ride never ends.
Stay with us.
