The Life of Fredrick Brennan feat. Jay Brandstetter (E361)

Fredrick Brennan, the self-taught programmer and type designer best known for founding and then later denouncing the anonymous imageboard 8chan, died on January 10th, 2026. He was 31 years old. We had Fredrick on the QAA podcast several times starting in 2019 and he always had valuable insights into the technical aspects of imageboards, the owner/operators of 8chan, and the history of the internet. To remember Fredrick’s life, his journey from free speech absolutist to crusader against QAnon and 8chan, and our personal stories of “copypaste,” Travis, Jake, and Julian are joined by Jay Brandstetter, Fredrick’s partner during the last months of his life and host of the I’m From the Internet podcast.
