Where's My Charger?

You are listening to Where’s My Charger the podcast with your host(s) Elena, Gabby, and Elizabeth.

In this episode of Where’s My Charger the Podcast we discuss: iPods, their history, and their impact.

Hey everyone, the way we listen to music has changed so much over just some 30-odd years. Nowadays, the most popular option is probably streaming services; think Spotify or Apple Music. They offer high-quality audio and ginormous libraries. But before all of that, before smartphones even, people used Mp3 players, and today’s episode is all about mp3 players, specifically, Apple’s iconic iPod

1. Elena gives a small context on how MP3 players came about and a concise history of the mainline (classic) iPod series
2. Elizabeth explains how the introduction of the iPod helped save Apple

When we return, we’ll learn more about the people keeping the iPod alive.

We’re back! iPods were a massive success; they revolutionized MP3 players, saved Apple, and even helped create the smartphones we know today. But if they were such a huge success, where are they today? While we mentioned earlier that most people are devoted to streaming, there’s still a massive community dedicated to the restoration and use of iPods. Let’s get plugged in and learn more.

1. Elena discusses why she uses an iPod to listen to music

The iPods in society became a major trend and cultural shift in the 2000s. First released in 2001, Apple sold 100 million iPods in 2007, making it one of the fastest-selling music players in history. It even became a symbol of popularity and coolness, creating a major fashion statement with the white wired earbuds in the mid- 2000s.
