INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Remember Winamp skins? Burned CDs? AIM away messages? The Dreamcast? Those weird little corners of the internet that somehow felt more human than everything online today?
Maybe we don’t actually miss the technology. Maybe we miss how it made us feel.
Artifacts is a podcast about forgotten platforms, dead gadgets, old internet culture, creative communities, and the strange emotional connection we still have to them.
But this isn’t just nostalgia. It’s about why these things mattered.
Why people still defend the Zune.
Why some gamers are still obsessed with the Dreamcast.
Why old forums felt more personal than social media.
Why podcasting used to feel smaller… and maybe more exciting.
Every episode starts with an artifact. And then follows the story underneath it. The people. The feeling. The moment in time. And what it says about who we are now.
Because sometimes the objects fade. But the feeling doesn't.
I’m Danny Brown.
And this is Artifacts.
