Previous Episode: Ball Pit, at Capacity

I'm joined by Battle of Brisbane war hero and the former eighth-best blogger in all of Australia, Danny Hebdon (@_hebdon on Twitter), whose name I immediate mispronounce out of the gate, for a great chat about the very early days of Tumblr from two decades ago and Tumblarity, Tumblr's botched impressions method. There's also some fun chat about Uluru, Bob Katter and other great Australian things (like Pauline Hanson making a fool of herself), plus me viscerally remembering All Time Low and how they got me suspended when I was 14. There’s also Tumblr, the musical, which I won’t explain any further. 

I Like Your Shoelaces is a deep dive into all the hilarious, surreal and possibly illegal stuff that happened during the blogging platform Tumblr's heyday. Each week, I am joined by a guest to talk about an event or trend from Tumblr that still sticks with us to this day, as well as what they got out of their time on Tumblr and what it meant to them.

Please get in touch with me @michael_cfg on Twitter if you have any feedback or ideas for me to talk about going forward! The intro music is "Drifting Korners" by Joseph McDade and I Like Your Shoelace's logo was designed by the extremely talented Michael Taylor (@michaeldanger19 on Twitter).
