Very kind words from @scottwillsey here! Thanks to him for the lovely post and to everyone who has participated in and followed the #ReallySpecificStories project. I love interacting with the community in this way, and while there’s only so much time in the day and it’s impossible to speak with everyone, it’s something that I intend to maintain in the long term.

This time on #ReallySpecificStories, I'm joined by @scottwillsey, who discusses his history of following tech podcasts and what it has been like to co-host shows like @friendswbrews. He also asserts the importance of #accessibility and benefits of listening to (and being part of) a minority, citing lessons from @parallel and his childhood experience as an American in Japan.

@martinfeld @hemisphericviews @kate it’s a small world! I didn’t realise that #ReallySpecificStories was a PhD project - that’s very cool. I’ve already been listening and working my way through the back catalogue - really interesting stepping back into the time portal of iPods and iTunes syncing.

@timklapdor Thanks for highlighting and listening to @hemisphericviews! ❤️ Also, yes, @kate is one of my two fantastic uni supervisors for the #ReallySpecificStories PhD project, which is at https://www.rsspod.net.

I take #accessibility seriously at #ReallySpecificStories, including an edited transcript of each and every interview. Since listening to a particular episode of @parallel by @Shelly, however, I found a way that (I hope) makes them that little bit better.

@mcg Thanks for listening! Yes, @baldur made a great point about tech being pop culture, especially as it has become more entwined with entertainment and the focus of fandom itself.
I haven't read it for a while, so not sure how well it dates, but years ago I wrote my Honours thesis, ‘It Just Works’, on Apple brand fandom and used qualitative methods to understand fans’ experiences. You could say it was the early version of what I'm doing with #ReallySpecificStories: https://books.apple.com/au/book/it-just-works/id1450907652
