Season 1 may have come to an end, but the archive is still open.

In this special bonus episode, Danny reflects on the journey that began with a Dreamcast and grew into something much bigger than a podcast about old technology.

Looking back at the stories behind internet forums, burned CDs, away messages, midnight launches, the family computer, game manuals, and the early web, hear what surprised him most while creating the season, and why the strongest memories were never really about the technology itself.

You'll also hear some of the memories listeners have shared since the show launched, along with a few hints about what's waiting inside Season 2.

Thank you for being part of the first season of Artifacts.

Because sometimes the objects fade.

But the feeling doesn't.

• Elizabeth Swanay O'Neal, of the Branching Out Genealogy Podcast, reviews Artifacts
