On today's episode, we talk with the one-and-only, our beloved editor, Amelia Hruby! You've heard her name at the end of every episode and today we bring you her voice. Founder of the feminist podcast studio, Softer Sounds, and host of her own podcast, Off the Grid, Amelia is a prominent and grounding voice in the increasingly anxious world of social media (especially for those of us with our careers tied to that space).
In today's episode, we also share about the hard decision to pause our work with Amelia as we try to figure out sustainability and finances for keeping Scratch That afloat. (Thanks upon thank you for every person who has and continues to support us on Patreon! We are so grateful for you!!)
Tune in to hear us talk about:
📲 The sneaky ways social media creates the problems it claims to solve.
🧮 Naming the problems we are really trying to solve and how an app can (and can't) meet that need.
👯♂️ Ways to make friends without social media.
📈 The difference between casually using social media and building a business on social media.
🛼 Fashion as another (older) way to signal to others what you value.
🏘️ Getting back to the small and local.
🎨 The differences between being an artist versus being a content creator.
We would love to hear from you! How are you navigating social media these days? How does it feel to be there? Or have you already left? Have you found ways to use the tool in a way that feels good and helpful? Have you found alternate paths to solving problems where you used to only use an app?
