Dive into the vivid world of VHS nostalgia as host El Tiburon welcomes John from the Tapeheads United Podcast to The Retro Wave. In this episode, they swap stories about their lifelong love for VHS tapes, debate the art and aesthetics of classic VHS cover designs, and reveal their all-time favorite covers (think horror, sci-fi, anime, and more). Whether you’re a long-time tape collector or just curious about analog media, this is your front-row seat to a colorful, analog‑obsessed conversation.

What You’ll Hear:

• John’s personal journey into VHS collecting
• The visual appeal and design trends of 80s & 90s VHS sleeves
• Top 5 (or maybe 10) standout VHS cover designs — what makes them iconic
• Nostalgic memories: renting tapes, hunting for gems, and tape shelf glory
• How cover art influenced purchase decisions (and shelf pride)

Why Listen:
If you love retro media, analog culture, or visual design, this episode blends nostalgia and deep appreciation for a medium that defined home video. Plus, the cross‑podcast crossover with Tapeheads United brings fresh perspectives for both fanbases.
