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.

Maybe you’re curious about leaving Google – Gmail, Workspace, Google Search, Photos, Drive.
There’s plenty of videos to watch and articles to read on the subject, but it might be helpful to talk to people who’ve actually left some of those Google Products!
I left Google Workspace years ago and use Fastmail and Proton. Other people on the call have various stories and new tools that they use.
This isn’t a webinar and there’s no pitch. It’s a group of people who’ve been down this path (or are just starting to think about it) trading real experiences.
