Excited to share my Techtonic interview with @cyberlyra - aka Janet Vertesi - founder of the #optout project and #techreclaimers .
Janet explains WHY and HOW to get off of Big Tech, and onto community-minded alternatives.

I'm about half way through the episode and really enjoying the interview!
Question for @markhurst though: why isn't the URL to the Opt Out Project in the show notes?
Techtonic’s signoff tells you to “get off Google,” and Janet Vertesi shows how it’s done. Janet founded the Opt Out Project to show people how to switch from Big Tech surveillance platforms to better, community-minded alternatives.
Thanks for the pointer, but what I'm referring to is the show notes included in the RSS feed.
This is what is included that my pod catcher shows:
Janet Vertesi, founder of the Opt Out Project
Kirk Pearson - "Theme from Techtonic"
- "Mark's intro"
- "Interview with Janet Vertesi" [0:03:00]
- "Mark's comments" [0:49:26]
Laibach - "Allgorhythm (feat. Wiyaala)" [0:55:26] https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/162465
Ah that's a shame. Most podcasts include detailed show notes that can be viewed directly in a podcast app. It's very convenient to not have to visit a web page to see the detailed notes.
I enjoyed the interview by the way!
