Ever wonder where the internet stops and IRL begins? Close All Tabs breaks down how digital culture shapes our world through thoughtful insights and irreverent humor. From internet trends to AI slop to the politics of memes, Close All Tabs covers it all.

Host Morgan Sung pulls from experts, the audience, and history to add context to the trends and depth to the memes.
