Hey, I'm Kate Lindsay, and you're listening to I-C-Y-M-I, or in case you missed it, Slate's podcast about internet culture.

And we are here, finally finally with porn historian Noel Purdue.

I say finally because we've been wanting to get together on the pod for a while,

but also because there was a slight location mishap involving Google Maps

and its refusal to ever find Slate's office location anywhere, anytime. But you made it. You're here.

Noel, welcome to the podcast. I'm glad you made it. Save and sound. Thank you so much.

Trials and tribulations, but, you know, here is journey.

Yes, exactly. And so we're a porn historian. People might be ears are probably peaked at that. And we are going to get into why we have Noel porn historian here. But we're first going to ask her the question we ask all first time guests on the ICYMIMI Podcast, which is what is your first internet memory?

I think that my first internet memory was chat roulette.

Mm-hmm.

Specifically not Omengal, but chat roulette.

Right.

The difference was chat roulette would randomly match you with another person, but it was just video. And I know in, so O'Magle would

randomly match you with another person with his text and then it introduced video. But I know my

real chat roulette experience was like, one in three, one in five, you'd get someone,

would jerk in it with their penis out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, with their, with their penis out. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, with their penis out.

With their penis out.

Yeah, and I remember specifically getting in huge trouble with my cousin, where we were kind of

like talking to somebody that I, as per my memory, we met on chat roulette, and we had like moved it to aim or something

like that. And they had like more of an advanced internet setup than I did. And I remember

my uncle, my cousin's dad kind of found this, this, you know, absolutely a mess of two children talking to what can only be

presumed as a scary, scary, bad internet.
