Shownotes
(Full transcript here)
Follow Friday is one year old today, so happy birthday to us! To celebrate, Garbage Day writer Ryan Broderick — one of the first-ever guests on the show — takes the reins and interviews Eric Johnson about four of his favorite people to follow online:
- Someone he doesn't know in real life but wants to be friends with: Video essayist Patrick H. Willems
- Someone who's an expert in a very specific niche he loves: Kevin Perjurer, founder of Defunctland
- Someone he is embarrassed to admit he follows: Korean a capella group MayTree
- Someone who makes the internet a better place: Engineer Simone Giertz
