Our senior producer is Hans Buetow. Our executive producer is Jason Oberholtzer. The show’s host is Mike Rugnetta. Never Post is a production of Charts & Leisure

Mike Rugnetta, known for his thoughtful and often playful analysis of digital culture, guides each episode of Never Post. This isn't a series about quick social media tips or gadget reviews; instead, it digs into the deeper currents of online life. The conversations explore how the internet shapes our identities, our art, our politics, and our very sense of reality. You'll hear discussions that feel like the best kind of late-night talk with a deeply curious friend-ranging from the absurdity of memes to the profound implications of network theory. Produced by Charts & Leisure, the podcast operates from a simple, powerful premise: that the digital world is now inseparable from the human one, and it deserves this kind of careful, critical, and celebratory attention. Tuning in feels like getting a clearer map to a territory we all inhabit but rarely stop to examine. Each episode asks us to reconsider our daily scrolls, clicks, and shares, making the familiar strange again. It’s for anyone who has ever felt exhilarated, exhausted, or utterly bewildered by life online, offering a space to step back and make sense of the noise.
