Mixtape: Cassetternet

In 1983, Simon Goodwin pioneered broadcasting computer software over the radio. This concept led to the emergence of cassette-based "analog internets" in the early 1980s. These networks enabled the unprecedented sharing and distribution of information. The social and cultural impacts of these analog information networks are still evident today. Mixtape, a podcast series, explores the origins and societal influence of these early internet networks. The series delves into the transformative power of these networks, including their role in challenging power structures. The series features expert interviews and original music, highlighting the significance of these early networks and their enduring legacy.
