Egotastic FunTime: The ReLoaded Cut is a smart, funny podcast about artificial intelligence, digital privacy, streaming, Hollywood, fandom and the strange modern world we’re all trying to survive together. I’m JP, and each story-driven episode explores how technology affects the way we work, watch, connect—and decide what’s real. Along the way, science fiction and pop culture help us examine the future we’re building and whether humanity is actually ready for it. One idea. One story. About ten minutes. Thoughtful conversations. Honest opinions. No outrage bait. Finding light in the darkness… with laser beams.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-25T02:17:14.854129+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/egotastic-funtime-reloaded-6371431"},"episode":{"title":"The Death of Ownership: Everything Is Becoming a Rental","slug":"the-death-of-ownership-everything-is-becoming-a-rental","published_at":"2026-08-21T15:13:09+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/egotastic-funtime-reloaded-6371431/the-death-of-ownership-everything-is-becoming-a-rental","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/egotastic-funtime-reloaded-6371431","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/egotasticfuntime/3085694","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/208816/3085694/egotasticfuntime/2026_08_21_15_11_36_6a752207-2e2e-4225-b817-4fc3360221bb.mp3","summary":"When did buying something stop meaning it belonged to us?
