SOCIAL MEDIA WILL NEVER BE AS COOL AS MAGAZINES

Published On: July 17, 2025Categories: Community, Life, Technology

On today’s Escape Pod Zoom Call we got talking about experiences with magazines when we were younger:

  • One story was about a computer magazine with a program written by a young Bill Gates.
  • Another was about buying magazines (plural) with a baggie full of change.

We don’t just talk about the XYZ’s of quitting social media, but about getting back to the core life experiences that made shit cool before techbro platforms flattened culture and gamified everything.
