Frederick Woodruff is joining us to share the story behind his book “I Love You Jeffrey Dahmer,” and what it took to bring it to release.
We’ll start with a quick check-in, hear from Frederick, and open the floor for questions about the book, the choices behind it, and the work of finishing and publishing something like this.
Then we’ll open it up to everyone, widening the conversation from the work of publishing your own book to how that kind of work encircles all our lives and to everything we’re making.
(more…)- Our next call is on Thursday, Oct 15 at 2PM EDT

We’ll all pick a single page on our website, the one you’ve been meaning to update for the last few months – come on!
Then we’ll spend some times working, and updating. They’ll be some chatter, as we want to help and encourage one another, so this isn’t a full-on “work together in silence” co-work call, just so you know!

This Escape Pod Zoom call is for anyone curious about RSS. Maybe you’ve never used an RSS feed reader, or maybe you used Google Reader for years and never replaced it. Either way, come hang out and we’ll talk about:
- What RSS actually is
- Why it still matters, especially outside of social media
- Feed readers worth trying
- How to add feeds for the blogs, newsletters, and sites you love
- Making sure people can follow your work via RSS
- Making sure your feed reader is a calm, quiet space
And hey, longtime RSS folks and Google Reader refugees: please come share what you use and how you use it!

This Escape Pod Zoom call is for those just getting started! Maybe you’re not looking to turn this into a six figure business, you just want to make work and find your people along the way.
We’ll probably talk about:
- Where you people might be (especially outside of social media)
- Small, chill ways that let people know what you do
- How to find like-minded folks for easy-going collaborations
- Small ways to stay visible without burning yourself out
- How to keep it going without burning out
And hey, old-schoolers – you’ve already done this, so please come and share your experience and wisdom, too. This is gonna be a good time.

Bring your favorite digital or analog tool(s) to the party, and tell us why you love ’em. We’ll gasp with delight, take detailed notes, and probably walk away with half a dozen new things to try out when we’re done.
Come talk about your favorite:
- Website builder
- Accounting or bookkeeping software
- Label maker
- Podcast mixer
- Project management app
- Scanner
- Whatever tool you use that you actually love talking about.
No pressure to have the fanciest or most expensive gear. If it makes your work easier, it counts, and it can probably help other people with their work and that’s what we strive for around here.
