This week, Jean talks to Vincent, a returning guest who appeared on Episode 74 in December 2019, when we talked about his Micro.blog app, Gluon. Since then, Vincent started working on the Micro.blog apps, and was instrumental in launching the official Micro.blog Android app.

Rob joined Micro.blog four years ago, and even attended a Micro Meetup in Minneapolis when Jean was there in 2018. In 20 minutes, we catch up, talk about how corporate social media has warped the blogging culture, and notice how even talking about Twitter raises our blood pressure.

After the end of the regular episode, there is a second bonus section we recorded to discuss Until the End of the World, a 1991 film directed by Wim Wenders, that we both are passionate about. Could this be the beginning of a Micro Film Group? Email [email protected] if you’d be interested in a semi-regular meetup to discuss film.

This week’s guest, Denny, is known for his posts about sustainablility, featuring lessons he’s learned as a tiny house inhabitant in the Missouri woods, where he also does website design and graphic design. We talk about his experiments in sustainable living, his longtime blog, new interest in Mastodon, and cute armadillos.

This week’s guest Eric is well known for his photos from his running adventures. He also has an unusual winter hobby, so be sure to listen if you want to get some DIY backyard ice-skating rink tips.

On this week’s episode, Aaron tells us a bit about the handcrafting of leather goods, how crafting helps us connect to our human nature, and why the humans of Micro.blog are so friendly.

Micro Camp: a virtual gathering of the Micro.blog community

On this week’s episode, Valerie talks about how travel got her started with blogging, and answers Jean’s many questions about living and working in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

This week’s guest, Fabio, is a student of data science and economics, who looks for ways to build and support the polyamory community. We chat quite a bit on the hurdles of building community in the era of pandemic, how social media does and does not support communities, and how Micro.blog fits in. (There’s also a few minutes of Star Trek chat at the end.)

Manton Reece, founder of Micro.blog, comes on the podcast to talk about some of the new things that have been added to the platform just lately, such as:

Clifford joins us for a chat about his practice of posting a photo a day, mostly from his location in the Sierras, but sometimes on the road visiting other stunning locales. We get into a discussion of what is sustainable and scalable for Micro.blog, and Clifford offers up a feature idea for greater discovery options.

Anna Havron is the latest guest on Micro Monday. She talks about her love of analog office tools, how she got addicted to writing, and what brought her to Micro.blog.
