March 03, 2022GenX Playgrounds
A typical day of fun as a GenX kid might mean exposure to dangerous conditions, devious contraptions, and life-threatening physics. And yet somehow, we survived to tell the tale. Of course, we’re just talking here about the average GenX-era playground! They’ve changed dramatically in the last few decades, and in this Backtrack we’re talking all about playgrounds the way we remember them from our youth!

February 24, 2022REWIND: Bulletin Board Systems
There was once a time when it took hours to download a file, when you had to find out from friends and magazines the numbers to the best… well.. let’s call them “sites,” and when your home phone (no mobile back then) was the same line that you used to access remote servers. That was the wonderful, frustrating, and amazing world of BBSes. In this episode, we talk about our first time using computers to access a larger world!
