The Dial Up Dudes
by Jim Dolan, Dave Springer & Rob Bish
Welcome the Dial Up Dudes. Jim, Dave and Rob are three members of the Xennial generation. Our childhoods were spent out on our bikes and playing in the park but our adolescence and teen years were spent playing video games and browsing Encarta on the Windows 95 PCs in our school libraries. We're the last generation that needed a landline phone and the first to want mobiles. We remember an age when the the streets were either melting in the summer, covered in white dog poo or paved with free AOL CDs....seriously.If any of the above relates to you, then maybe this is the podcast for you.
