@rabble.nz s podcast Revolution.Social has a bunch of great conversations with people who've been deep and early in some of the most impactful online social products of the last decade www.youtube.com/@rabble

Elise Granata's Group Hug — a super down-to-earth exploration of the craft of community building, or what she describes as "the mysterious, magical, unpredictable human funk that makes being in community with other people a wonderful or awful thing!" grouphug.substack.com

Sam Pressler's Connective Tissue explores what it will take "to seed and cultivate our generational project of civic and communal renewal" Always well researched & well written, focused on real potential solutions, not just theoretical stuff. connectivetissue.substack.com
