The FCC delivers its largest fine ever to Sinclair Media. Social media struggles to contain spread of misinformation. Apple gets hit with a second lawsuit over antennas in less expensive iPhones. Amazon sued over digital movie downloads which you don’t really own.
And let’s chat about the awesome phones coming soon to video reviews near you!
Let’s get our tech week started right!
A community is like a garden. With some care and attention, you grow community you want. You wouldn’t want to put all your energy into building a community of poison ivy.
Joshua Vergara is one of the more thoughtful creators I follow. I particularly appreciate his focus on the lifestyle side while reviewing lifestyle tech. He took a little time to chat about what it was like moving from one smartphone publication to another, how he got started shooting video reviews, and we took a little time to catch up and chat about tea.

Welcome to another creator chat on the SGGQA podcast channel. An occasional series of interviews, where we get to hear from folks making cool things on the internet.
Building something new can be really difficult, but reviving a quiet channel is a whole different can of worms.
Algorithms and popularity, reaching out to lapsed community members while interacting with new community members. Even sorting out your commenter troll strategy.
Nick Gray is one of the tech reviewers I’ve followed the longest in my career. I remember sorting through his articles as I was getting into Windows Mobile PDA’s.

I had a great time sitting down to chat with Daniel Bader on the AC Podcast. If you’ve ever wanted more behind the scenes info on how we approach gadget reviewing, this was a fun nerdy conversation about the tech scene. Especially as Daniel and I are both “But I Digress” kinds of reviewers.

I hope you enjoy the conversation, and make sure to subscribe to the Android Central Podcast in your favorite podcast app! Continue reading “SomeGadgetGuy on Android Central’s Podcast”

I’m not just playing this out in my head, the hosts are actually replying to me.
