The Kids Love Old Tech

Hosts | Ashton & Cassie (Cassie is fashionably late today) Guests | Dylan Speaks & Aaron Stranger Game Preservation | We kick things off with a spotlight on GOG (Good Old Games), celebrating its DRM-free philosophy and its role in preserving gaming history. Games | Bioshock 4, Star Wars Outlaws, Halo & Helldivers Crossover, and a new Resident Evil film directed by Zach Gregor, which promises a fresh narrative outside the franchise’s usual character arcs—while staying loyal to the game’s core mechanics Amazon’s Kindle Policy Changes | Amazon will now block users from downloading eBooks to their computers. We explore the ripple effects on older devices, third-party software users, and low-income communities—tying it into a broader trend of media access restrictions and the rise of subscription-based ecosystems. Video Rental Stores are Back | Now reimagined with coffee bars and community vibes, video rental stores seem to be making a resurgence. We share memories of browsing shelves and bonding over VHS tapes, contrasting it with the isolating overload of modern streaming platforms. The Kids Love Old Tech | We reflect on the growing fascination with analog tech among Gen Z. From cassette players to dial-up internet, we explore why younger generations are craving simplicity in an age of constant connectivity—and what the decline of physical media means for our cultural memory.   Keep the conversation going | www.pastpresentshow.com

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
