Episode 4: How stories survive

There are so many reasons that some stories survive and others don't. In this episode I talk to Thomas O'Mahony, podcaster, podcast producer, and digital conservationist about DVD rot and the importance of preserving physical media.

Some of Tom’s podcasts are https://linktr.ee/beneaththeskinpod and https://www.patreon.com/c/ThisGuySucked/posts?redirect=true
