TW112: Glitches, Gratitude, and Going Live (Sort Of)

This week’s episode of Technically Working lives up to its name—emphasis on “technically.” Michael and Damashe dive into a chaotic but honest session filled with:

• Live streaming experiments using Owncast and Cloudron
• A rundown of unexpected audio and network issues (including Michael’s mysterious Mac Wi-Fi fail)
• Why you may have only heard one side of the live broadcast
• A heartfelt update from Michael about stepping back from Club Unmute and issuing prorated refunds
• Real talk about prioritizing passion, family, and work
• Listener feedback from Tim, Robin, Shazard, and Scout
• Damashe’s upcoming trip to the Alabama School for the Blind tech symposium
• Shout-outs to Rogue Amoeba (yes, someone’s listening) and longtime fans like Matthew
• Honest download numbers and a much-needed perspective check
• Future plans for federated social, website improvements, and maybe merch—but definitely not mugs

Despite the rocky audio and robot voices, this episode is a raw behind-the-scenes glimpse of what happens when two tech heads push through chaos to keep the show going.
