Hi All,

I'm an undergrad student at the University of Washington. I'm currently taking a multi-modal english comp class that requires us to produce a podcast; for my group's topic, we have chosen to look at how the Flat Earth theory has really risen to significance in the last several years. I think it's fascinating how FES has been able to maintain their relevance to the behest of mainstream media/governments/corporations, I can't think of another grass roots movements that has moved so fast. It prompts an interesting statement about how many people are aware of the amount of propaganda is in the media and if those people are part of a community that actively questions what we're told is reality. I think I've found, in FES, a group who challenge norms using logic and research unlike any other group.

Anyways - a requirement is that we interview people in the community we're covering. I haven't had any luck finding any Seattle factions of FES, despite reaching out to numerous people. At this point, this forum is my only link to the real community behind FES.

I'd like to see if any of you guys would like to be interviewed for my assignment. I'd be happy to provide a venmo, paypal or cashapp incentive to have a 15 - 20 minute either phone/facetime or even email conversation. Ultimately the purpose of the interview would not be for you to talk about what FES is, but more so your experience as an FES member, friends family, etc... I'd be happy to email you the questions in advance so you have idea of what I am looking for.

Any recordings/information I'd get would strictly be utilized for the sake of my class. It would never be uploaded to the internet beyond the canvas portal UW uses for assignment turn in. I wouldn't compromise any of your privacy or security.

I have my UW email linked to this account (sorry for the name - I couldn't resist the Shakespeare pun), shoot me an email if you want to work out an amount that would make this worth your time.

Hi Flat Earth Society,

As the title suggests, I'm a student hoping to gather some info about the demographics and lives of the members of the Flat Earth Society. I'm building a podcast for a multimodal english course at the University of Washington where I attempt to explain why certain cultural phenomenons gain so much traction online, with my pilot episode tackling the viral-ness of the Flat Earth Theory. Because my only experience with your community is online, I'd like to try to understand the people behind the usernames. I'm attaching some questions below but my real hope is that I can connect with a member of your community and respectfully interview them, however they feel comfortable. In addition, if you know of anywhere that hosts FES stats like the ones I'm looking for - I'd be happy to learn of its location.

I'd like to be able to message some of you and learn things like:
-When did you first learn of the Flat Earth Theory?
-Why does it appeal to you?
-How much formal education do you have?
-What ethnicity do you identify with?
-What gender/pronouns do you use?
-Are you located outside of the US?
-Are you religious?
-How old were you when you decided to join FES?
-How many FES members do you know off of the internet?

As a disclaimer - I do not intend to post this info anywhere online and by extension the podcast will never be posted for the public. I am not a troll. I am not going to use the information to slander or make any assumption about the FES.

Please reach out to me if you're interested.
