Vinyl records lead physical media resurgence, along with VHS, retro video games

from Sound of Ideas · host Ideastream Public Media

Legacy Media's Return Across Northeast Ohio, shops are popping up that are catering to a growing analog movement. These are stores that deal in vinyl records, VHS tapes, video games from Nintendo and SEGA, as well as other legacy media. Tuesday on the "Sound of Ideas," with guest host Drew Maziasz, we'll hear from Cleveland Magazine's Annie Nickoloff, who dug into this love of older media. Is there something we're losing when we only consume media from streaming services and digital platforms? Or are these older, analog media formats simply the latest trend in nostalgia? Guests: - Kabir Bhatia, Senior Arts Reporter, Ideastream Public Media - Annie Nickoloff, Editor, Cleveland Magazine - Jonathon Carmichael, Owner, Killer Video - Emily Laurance, Director, Cleveland Silent Film Festival "The Small Stuff" Then, we turn our attention to a new book from Ian Bogost, a contributor to The Atlantic. "The Small Stuff" is all about finding more gratification in life, which Bogost often ties to creating a deeper connection and appreciation of life's small moments. In the book, Bogost writes about everything from finding joy in the feeling of a steering wheel under your finger tips, to finding out how to waste time without thinking of it as a waste of time. He spoke with "Sound of Ideas" Coordinating Producer Drew Maziasz. Guests: - Ian Bogost, Author, "The Small Stuff"; Contributor, "The Atlantic" - Drew Maziasz, Coordinating Producer, Ideastream Public Media
