Blocked and Reported

Journalists Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal scour the internet for its craziest, silliest, most sociopathic content, part of an obsessive and ill-conceived attempt to extract kernels of meaning and humanity from a landscape of endless raging dumpster fires. www.blockedandreported.org

Hosted on Substack and measured by Chartable, Claritas, Podscribe and Spotify

This podcast may use tracking and attribution

Stats: Statistics are produced by Substack, Chartable, Claritas, Podscribe and Spotify to help Blocked and Reported to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.

Tracking and attribution: Chartable, Claritas, Podscribe and Spotify or their partners may connect the fact you listened to this podcast to an action elsewhere on the internet. For example - they may spot a device that downloaded an episode of Blocked and Reported later visited the website of an advertiser; or they may track that a device that listened to Blocked and Reported also listened to a different show. This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.

Blocked and Reported is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
