Are We in An Analog Revival?

In this episode of Forum, Mina Kim leads a discussion with Jeff Rauseo and Jacob Gaboury about the resurgence of physical media in an increasingly digital world. They explore the reasons behind this trend, including dissatisfaction with streaming services, the desire for tangible ownership, and the appeal of original formats. Listeners share their personal experiences and motivations for collecting physical media, such as nostalgia, concerns about censorship and algorithmic recommendations, and the sense of community it fosters. The conversation also touches on the role of institutions in preserving media and the potential for a balanced approach between streaming and physical ownership.
