A Retro Resurgence
-
Narrated by:

Vinyl is outselling CDs. Physical books are making a comeback. Retro gaming is driving demand for CRT televisions. And server-side rendering is being rediscovered by a generation of developers who learned on React. In episode three of Breaking the Build, Tim and James ask: Is this nostalgia, or is something else going on?
Topics covered: vinyl records vs streaming, physical books vs e-books, film photography vs digital, retro gaming and CRT monitors, server-side rendering, HTMX and Astro.js, streaming copyright and digital ownership, and the future of physical media.
This fun technology podcast covers the retro tech revival from both the consumer and developer sides — and lands on a theory about why some formats come back while others (DVDs, we're looking at you) just quietly die. Also: a t-shirt cannon that shoots 1,500 feet, a shirt press that nearly sent someone to the hospital, and the case for cargo shorts.
Perfect for: tech enthusiasts, developers, retro tech fans, vinyl collectors, and anyone worried about content disappearing from streaming platforms.
