Après le vinyle, la cassette revient sur le devant de la scène. Symbole d'une époque où l'écoute était intime et parfois illégale, elle incarne la nostalgie des années Walkman, quand on découvrait la musique seul, casque sur les oreilles et parfois à coups de copies maison.

A nerd, a jock, a princess, a werewolf, and a gender-swapping journalist walk into 1985… This week, Jovial Jay and Shua take a nostalgic trip back to high school to celebrate the teen comedies that defined a generation on Enjoy Stuff Whether you were eating lunch in the library, building your dream girl, or skiing the K12, teen comedies in 1985 tapped into real adolescent emotions with totally tubular exaggeration. It's been 40 years since these iconic films hit theaters—so grab your Walkman, fluff your bangs, and join us as we Enjoy Teen Movies! News A coffee table made out of VHS tapes goes viral, mixing nostalgia and furniture George Lucas highlight narrative art at SDCC Starfleet Academy teaser drops, setting up a return to Star Trek's future Strange New Worlds renewed for 5th and final season H.E.R.B.I.E. and the Fantastic Four join the Avengers Campus lineup Spinal Tap II drops a trailer—get ready to crank it to 11 again this September RIP Tom Lehrer—brilliant satirist and mathematician Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Shua is fascinated by Huge* (*if true), a smart and engaging YouTube show hosted by Cleo Abram that tackles big ideas with clarity and positivity. Jay fell down a retro rabbit hole with Wild Rides (1982), a Nickelodeon doc/music special hosted by a young Matt Dillon and set to rollercoaster footage with music from The Who, Steely Dan, Hendrix, and more. Sci-Fi Saturdays - This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay analyzes the rebooted Robocop (2014). It has a slicker suit, sharper tech, and a whole lot more Michael Keaton, but does it hold up to the original? Read Jay's full breakdown on RetroZap.com. Also check out his latest work on MCULocationScout.com including “Fantastic Four-apalooza!” and coverage of Agents of SHIELD Season 5. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU. Enjoy Teen Movies! 1985 was a banner year for teen comedies, giving us characters we loved, related to, and sometimes cringed at. These movies didn't just entertain, they helped define Generation X adolescence. Why did these films resonate so much? Because the '80s were overflowing with disposable teen cash, hungry studios, and an army of rising stars like Michael J. Fox, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, John Cusack, and more. They gave us escapism, identity, and some truly quotable lines. Did one of these movies speak to you? Did you own the soundtrack? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Two Dollars!” will get a special mention on the show. Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com

We hear from someone who never truly believed in ghosts… until one cold Oklahoma afternoon changed everything. What began as a quiet day with a Goosebumps book and a Walkman turned into months of eerie sightings, silent stares, and one final confrontation that brought it all to an end—or so they thought. Was it the spirit of a long-lost farmer? A remnant of something older? Or something else entirely?

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 1ú lá de mí Iúil, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1994 tháinig sé amach go raibh na cluichí Corn Domhanda deacair do na n-ospidéal. Bhí timpeall 90% de na daoine gortaithe tar éis gach cluiche agus bhí siad go léir ar meisce. I 2005 fuair tábhairneoir fíneáil de 66,500 míle euro de bharr go raibh déagóirí ag obair sa teach tábhairne gan cead. I 2005 cheap siad go mbeadh timpeall míle cuairteoirí chun a bheith ag an triail madraí caorach sa Teach Inch. Bhí iomaitheoirí ann ón Bhreatain, Ceanada, Meiriceá, an Eilvéis, an Iorua, an Ghearmáin, an tSualainn, an Nua-Shéalainn agus an Ollainn. I 2009 bhuaigh na MacDonaghs I Kilruane na cluichí phobail iománaíocht don chéad uair nuair a bhuaigh siad I gcoinne Baile an Gharraí I Stad Semple. Sin 2pac agus Elton John le Ghetto Gospel – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2005. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1979 tháinig Sony amach leis an Walkman – rud a bhí tú ábalta éisteacht le ceoil agus tú taobh amuigh. Dhíol siad níos mó ná 385 milliúin dóibh I rith 30 bhliain agus bhí siad ceannaire margaidh go dtí gur tháinig Apple amach leis an iPod agus gléas eile. I 2017 chuaigh Ed Sheeran chuig uimhir a haon don cheathrú huair lena tríú halbam darbh ainm Divide. Chuaigh sé chuig barr na cairteacha I 14 tír eile agus bhuaigh sé Gradam Grammy chomh maith. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Carl Lewis I Meiriceá I 1961 agus rugadh amhránaí Tate McRae I gCeanada ar an lá seo I 2003 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 1st of July, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1994: It was reported that Ireland's world cup match nights were causing major headaches for hospital casuality departments. Up to 90 percent of the injured after each match were reported to be drunk. 2005: A publican was fined for a record €66,500 for allowing teenage employees to work beyond permitted hours. 2005 – Close to 1,000 visitors were expected to attend the International Sheepdog Trials held on the Inch House estate in The Ragg. Competitors are expected from Britain, Canada, America, Switzerland, Norway. Germany, Sweden, New Zealand, Holland competed for prize monies and titles. 2009 - Kilruane MacDonaghs won the community games county hurling final for the first time when they overcame the challenge of Ballingarry in a sun-drenched Semple Stadium That was 2 Pac and Elton John with Ghetto Gospel – the biggest song on this day in 2005 Onto music news on this day In 1979 Sony introduced the Walkman, the first portable audio cassette player. Over the next 30 years they sold over 385 million Walkmans in cassette, CD, mini-disc and digital file versions, and were the market leaders until the arrival of Apple's iPod and other new digital devices. 2017 Ed Sheeran returned to No.1 for the forth time with his third studio album ÷ (pronounced ‘divide'). The album also topped the charts in 14 other countries and won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – athlete Carl Lewis was born in America in 1961 and singer Tate McRae was born in Canada on this day in 2003 and this is one of her songs. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.
In this episode, Madelyn and Emma discuss Lumines: Puzzle Fusion and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and the terrifying reality of your thirties being old. Also featuring all kinds of blocks, swollen batteries, and remembering the era of the Walkman. Sorry for Madelyn's quietness, we used the same mic, and she was not close enough. Did my best to boost her sound where I could!
Lieber still oder laut? Auf jeden Fall nicht giftig! Prost. Ich sage JA zu deutschem Wasser. Also, das von Sedona würde ich mal lieber nicht trinken. Überhaupt ist die Story bei „Die drei ??? - Giftiges Wasser“ ziemlich verwässert. Da gibt es viele Flüchtigkeitsfehler im Manuskript. Es ist nicht richtig im Fluss. Und Bob ist manchmal ein Ticki zu leise. Aber das ist jetzt fast schon so pienzig, wie Spitzfindler-Schwind, der Hörermails von 23-Jährigen korrigiert. Und ist es: Tlaquepaque, Plaquetaque, Laquekaque oder Klaquefaque? - Egal, Peter Pasetti wird es wissen… Er ist übrigens der Wasserzähler, äh, der WasserERzähler. Festival-Verschmäher Fröhlich findet einige Verbobbungen bei seinem Spiel. Und wie „Jean Joan Baxter Brown“ zusammengehören, ist nun wirklich nicht so entscheidend. Leitet diese Folge also die Verderrickung der Detektivreihe ein? Wie weint man als Frau richtig? Bonaqua oder Viva con Agua? - Lieber Sinagua. Ach ja, mit seinem einzigen Sprechereinsatz in der Hörspielserie rettet Ulrich Faulhaber absolut arrogant und angepisst das ganze Abenteuer – Genial gut gespielt und genau wie ein Pressechef, der nichts zugeben möchte. So. Alle belehren noch mal schnell die Gen Z und schalten dann den Walkman ein, der furchtbare Kopfhörer hat. Wasser marsch! Ihr habt Fragen, Wünsche oder Anregungen?

In this episode of "Now, No Opportunity Wasted," I, Angelica Ross, dive into the significance of July 1st, a date rich with history and cultural milestones. We kick off with a powerful quote from Daisaku Ikeda's "Buddhism Day by Day," emphasizing the importance of gratitude and the dangers of arrogance. This sets the tone for a fast-paced discussion that intertwines technology, art, and social justice. I reflect on the revolutionary impact of the Sony Walkman, released on July 1, 1979, which transformed how we engage with music and our surroundings. I also celebrate the birthday of Missy Elliott, a trailblazer who redefined power and creativity for Black women and femmes, and Amanda Seals, whose unapologetic truth-telling inspires me and many others. The conversation shifts to JoJo Siwa, who recently expressed feeling pressured by the queer community to identify as a lesbian. I address the complexities of identity and the real pressures that exist within society, particularly the pressure to conform to heteronormative standards. I highlight insights from the podcast "Hoodrat to Headwrap," where hosts Erica Hart and Ebony Donley discuss the omnipresent pressure to be straight, contrasting it with the narrative that the queer community is coercive. Next, I touch on the topic of non-binary identities and trans freedom, referencing T.S. Madison's podcast "Outlaws." I emphasize that being trans is not confined to a binary definition and that each individual's journey is unique. I share my own identity as a non-binary trans woman, advocating for authenticity and liberation over labels. As the episode progresses, I confront the silence of public figures like DJ Khaled regarding the situation in Palestine, expressing my frustration with performative activism. I stress the urgency of using platforms to uplift the oppressed and call out complacency. The episode wraps up with a lively Q&A session, where I engage with listeners about various topics, including career transitions into tech through TransTech, the importance of representation in the arts, and the challenges faced by trans individuals in the entertainment industry. I encourage listeners to embrace their unique journeys, build their confidence, and seek out opportunities that align with their passions. Throughout this episode, I aim to inspire and empower my audience to disrupt the status quo, dream big, and show up authentically in their lives. Join me as we continue to explore these vital conversations and uplift each other in the process.

While retailers were unsure about the demand for a playback-only cassette device, Sony conducted street demonstrations and distributed units to celebrities and influencers that led to the Walkman selling over 30,000 units in Japan within its first two ...
Sony's revolutionary cassette player, the Walkman, debuted in the USA on 1st July, 1979, costing $150. It went on to shift a staggering 450m units. Boasting a classy aluminium chassis, audio splitter, and novelty ‘Hotline' button for dance parties, the device took off after an advertising campaign featuring sexy models and an elderly Japanese monk. In this episode, Olly, Arion and Rebecca reveal the genesis of the Walkman's brand name; consider whether it deserved an even HIGHER place in TIME's list of the Top 50 Most Influential Gadgets, and ask if, in 2021, we are living in the shadow of ‘The Walkman Effect'...

That was 2 Pac and Elton John with Ghetto Gospel – the biggest song on this day in 2005 Onto music news on this day In 1979 Sony introduced the Walkman, the first portable audio cassette player. Over the next 30 years they sold over 385 million Walkmans in cassette, CD, mini-disc and digital file versions, and were the market leaders until the arrival of Apple's iPod and other new digital devices. 2017 Ed Sheeran returned to No.1 for the forth time with his third studio album ÷ (pronounced ‘divide'). The album also topped the charts in 14 other countries and won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – athlete Carl Lewis was born in America in 1961 and singer Tate McRae was born in Canada on this day in 2003 and this is one of her songs.

On September 20, 1988, 19 year-old Tara Calico vanished during a routine bike ride along Highway 47 in Belen, New Mexico, a route she knew by heart. Despite witness sightings of a suspicious truck following her and the discovery of her Walkman fragments on the roadside, no trace of Tara or her bike was ever found. Then, nearly a year later, a Polaroid was discovered in a Florida parking lot, showing a young woman and a boy bound and gagged in the back of a van, one that Tara's family believed showed her. The photo reignited national interest, but decades later, the case remains unsolved, haunted by silence, suspicion, and a family still searching for the truth.

Ohhhh hell yeah! Strap in and grab a cold one, ‘cause this week's episode of your podcast is diving headfirst into one of the wildest damn nights from the Attitude Era — WWE Raw is War, October 30th, 2000 — and baby, it's an all-out chaos buffet with extra steel cage mayhem.We're talkin' Stone Cold Steve Austin unleashing straight-up Texas Rattlesnake vengeance on Rikishi inside a freakin' steel cage! No rules, no mercy, and definitely no regrets. Rikishi tried to run him down a year ago — now Austin's dishing out the kind of ass-whooping you can feel through your Walkman. Blood, sweat, and middle fingers. Classic Attitude.But wait — things get even weirder (and a little sexy, let's be real) when Commissioner Mick Foley, rockin' that Santa Claus-meets-Jerry Garcia energy, pulls a surprise power move and introduces his brand-new Lt. Commissioner… Debra. Yeah, that Debra. Cookies and cleavage with a badge. The boys in the back better tighten up, ‘cause the new sheriff in town isn't afraid to throw some attitude of her own.Then it's The Rock vs. Chris Jericho in a #1 Contender's match that SLAPS harder than a Stunner. Two icons, one winner — and it's the People's Champ who comes out on top. But just when you think he's headed for glory, here comes Rikishi with a chair, a grudge, and a whole damn confession that shakes the arena.“He told me to do it…”Who told you, Rikishi? WHO?! Oh, you know who. The Rock's once-tight alliance with Rikishi officially goes up in flames like a flaming table at a Dudley Boyz barbecue.This Raw was messy, violent, hilarious, and absolutely unforgettable. Just how we like it. So hit play and let's relive this Monday night madness — because the Attitude Era never died… it just got louder on your podcast.
The Riffs, the Ruin, and the Rise of ThrashWhat do you get when two broke metalheads with a single bass and guitar channel their chaos into one of thrash metal's most iconic records? In 1986, Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? marked Megadeth's leap from Combat Records obscurity to Capitol-backed cult status. This episode of Dig Me Out unpacks how a band teetering on collapse crafted a cornerstone of ‘80s metal.We dig into the album's razor-sharp riffs, jazz-influenced drumming, and Dave Mustaine's snarky lyrical persona. From iconic MTV News basslines to heroin-fueled studio disappearances, this conversation covers the weird, wild, and weirdly disciplined story behind Peace Sells. We also explore how this record stood apart from Metallica's Master of Puppets and Slayer's Reign in Blood in the golden year of thrash.If you ever wore out your cassette copy on a Walkman, argued over Vic Rattlehead art, or caught the Peace Sells video on Headbanger's Ball—this one's for you.Episode Highlights• 0:00 – Wake Up Dead – Setting the tone: MTV, couch-surfing, and one guitar• 5:12 – Peace Sells – The bassline heard round the world and Mustaine's sarcastic snarl• 11:25 – Devil's Island – How Megadeth twisted groove and speed into something new• 17:45 – The album's strange second half – Covers, filler, and why “My Last Words” redeems it• 22:30 – Black Friday lore – occult inspiration, lost drummers, and high school memories• 29:00 – Mustaine's voice and vision – divisive, theatrical, and always unpredictable• 34:20 – How this fits into 1986 – Megadeth vs Metallica vs Slayer, and what made Peace Sells distinct• 42:00 – Final verdict – Is Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? essential? Listen in and find outSubscribe to Dig Me Out and be part of the Metal Union—where deep cuts, spirited debates, and forgotten classics are always on the table.
In this radical episode of Past Tens: A Top 10 Time Machine, Dave and Milt hop in their DeLorean — flux capacitor fully operational — and set the date for June 16, 1984. They're not just cruising through the Billboard Top 10; they're living it like extras in Footloose. The episode kicks off with a heartfelt and totally tubular tribute to Dave's late father — think The Karate Kid's Mr. Miyagi, but with better dad jokes. From there, it's a parade of parachute pants, popped collars, and personal memories as they discuss the artists who ruled the airwaves: Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Duran Duran, and Cyndi Lauper — basically the Justice League of 1984 pop. Of course, it wouldn't be Past Tens without a few twists. There's a Playdate Quiz that would stump even The NeverEnding Story's Atreyu, a musical mashup segment that's more chaotic than Gremlins after midnight, and their signature song substitution game — think Indiana Jones swapping the idol for a bag of sand, but with Huey Lewis tracks. Some highlights: 00:54: A heartfelt memorial for Dave's father, complete with more heart than Kevin Bacon dancing alone in a warehouse. 08:33: Pop Culture Highlights: Ghostbusters hit theaters, Purple Rain was on the horizon, and nobody put Baby in a corner (yet — Dirty Dancing was still a few years away). 15:22: Countdown kicks off — Night Ranger's “Sister Christian” taught us all what "motoring" really means (spoiler: it's not what your dad thinks). 38:01: Musical Mashups — imagine Footloose meets Thriller but performed by the cast of Revenge of the Nerds. 39:22: Laura Branigan's “Self Control” — the unofficial soundtrack to sneaking out past curfew in 1984. 44:54: Huey Lewis reminds everyone that the heart of rock and roll is still beating — even if it's wearing leg warmers. 59:33: Steve Perry's “Oh Sherrie,” a ballad so powerful it could get E.T. to phone home twice. 01:19:50: Cyndi Lauper's “Time After Time” — guaranteed to make even the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man misty-eyed. 01:23:15: Cyndi's legendary ties to the wrestling world — she could literally have body-slammed a Goonie. Milt also teases his upcoming trip to Africa, though we're unclear whether he'll be traveling by Toto song or Temple of Doom bridge. It's a journey that's equal parts nostalgia, musicology, and a John Hughes movie montage. Crank up your Walkman and join the ride — just don't feed Milt after midnight.

From Cassette Tapes and Phrasebooks to AI Real-Time Translations — Machines Can Now Speak for Us, But We're Losing the Art of Understanding Each Other May 21, 2025A new transmission from Musing On Society and Technology Newsletter, by Marco CiappelliThere's this thing I've dreamed about since I was a kid.No, it wasn't flying cars. Or robot butlers (although I wouldn't mind one to fold the laundry). It was this: having a real conversation with someone — anyone — in their own language, and actually understanding each other.And now… here we are.Reference: Google brings live translation to Meet, starting with Spanish. https://www.engadget.com/apps/google-brings-live-translation-to-meet-starting-with-spanish-174549788.htmlGoogle just rolled out live AI-powered translation in Google Meet, starting with Spanish. I watched the demo video, and for a moment, I felt like I was 16 again, staring at the future with wide eyes and messy hair.It worked. It was seamless. Flawless. Magical.And then — drumroll, please — it sucked!Like… really, existentially, beautifully sucked.Let me explain.I'm a proud member of Gen X. I grew up with cassette tapes and Walkmans, boomboxes and mixtapes, floppy disks and Commodore 64s, reel-to-reel players and VHS decks, rotary phones and answering machines. I felt language — through static, rewinds, and hiss.Yes, I had to wait FOREVER to hit Play and Record, at the exact right moment, tape songs off the radio onto a Maxell, label it by hand, and rewind it with a pencil when the player chewed it up.I memorized long-distance dialing codes. I waited weeks for a letter to arrive from a pen pal abroad, reading every word like it was a treasure map.That wasn't just communication. That was connection.Then came the shift.I didn't miss the digital train — I jumped on early, with curiosity in one hand and a dial-up modem in the other.Early internet. Mac OS. My first email address felt like a passport to a new dimension. I spent hours navigating the World Wide Web like a digital backpacker — discovering strange forums, pixelated cities, and text-based adventures in a binary world that felt limitless.I said goodbye to analog tools, but never to analog thinking.So what is the connection with learning languages?Well, here's the thing: exploring the internet felt a lot like learning a new language. You weren't just reading text — you were decoding a culture. You learned how people joked. How they argued. How they shared, paused, or replied with silence. You picked up on the tone behind a blinking cursor, or the vibe of a forum thread.Similarly, when you learn a language, you're not just learning words — you're decoding an entire world. It's not about the words themselves — it's about the world they build. You're learning gestures. Food. Humor. Social cues. Sarcasm. The way someone raises an eyebrow, or says “sure” when they mean “no.”You're learning a culture's operating system, not just its interface. AI translation skips that. It gets you the data, but not the depth. It's like getting the punchline without ever hearing the setup.And yes, I use AI to clean up my writing. To bounce translations between English and Italian when I'm juggling stories. But I still read both versions. I still feel both versions. I'm picky — I fight with my AI counterpart to get it right. To make it feel the way I feel it. To make you feel it, too. Even now.I still think in analog, even when I'm living in digital.So when I watched that Google video, I realized:We're not just gaining a tool. We're at risk of losing something deeply human — the messy, awkward, beautiful process of actually trying to understand someone who moves through the world in a different language — one that can't be auto-translated.Because sometimes it's better to speak broken English with a Japanese friend and a Danish colleague — laughing through cultural confusion — than to have a perfectly translated conversation where nothing truly connects.This isn't just about language. It's about every tool we create that promises to “translate” life. Every app, every platform, every shortcut that promises understanding without effort.It's not the digital that scares me. I use it. I live in it. I am it, in many ways. It's the illusion of completion that scares me.The moment we think the transformation is done — the moment we say “we don't need to learn that anymore” — that's the moment we stop being human.We don't live in 0s and 1s. We live in the in-between. The gray. The glitch. The hybrid.So yeah, cheers to AI-powered translation, but maybe keep your Walkman nearby, your phrasebook in your bag — and your curiosity even closer.Go explore the world. Learn a few words in a new language. Mispronounce them. Get them wrong. Laugh about it. People will appreciate your effort far more than your fancy iPhone.Alla prossima,— Marco

Recorded, Digitized and Curated by IrfanKamalini Datt has passed away (27 April 2025). Her unparalleled contributions to preserving, promoting, and disseminating Indian arts through television have left an indelible mark. With unwavering dedication and creative vision, she brought Prasar Bharati's Central Archives to life under challenging circumstances, bridging past and future through audio-visual archiving. Her work inspired generations and paved the way for aspiring artists. To me, she was a source of familial warmth and encouraging friendship. Her loss feels deeply personal. As I pay tribute to this warrior producer, dancer, officer, and nurturing figure, I share an excerpt from a conversation recorded nearly two decades ago in her Mayur Vihar home. Amid Delhi's sweltering summer and the hum of a ceiling fan, I captured her words on a Walkman, now digitized for you.Photo: Kamalini Dutt in Prague during an official visit to the exchange program on International Standard Practices in ArchivingCover: Irfan

Akio Morita was a visionary entrepreneur and co-founder of Sony. Born as the first son and fifteenth-generation heir to a 300-year-old sake-brewing family in Japan, Akio eschewed the traditional path to forge his own legacy in electronics.In post-war Japan, Akio joined forces with Masaru Ibuka to found Sony. They started in a burned-out department store with limited resources—to build their first product they had to buy supplies on the black market. Akio was determined to change the global perception of Japanese goods as poor quality. From day one he set out to build high-quality, differentiated products, targeted at affluent markets. Akio believed in long-term vision over short-term profits, product innovation without market research, and brand building over immediate profits. Against all opposition, including inside of his own company, Akio invented one of the most successful consumer products of all time: The Walkman. It sold over 400 million units and inspired countless other entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, James Dyson, and Phil Knight. This episode is what I learned from rereading Akio's classic 1986 autobiography Made In Japan. ----Ramp gives you everything you need to control spend, watch your costs, and optimize your financial operations —all on a single platform.

From grunge and hip-hop to bubblegum pop and R&B slow jams, we're curating the perfect blend of nostalgic tracks that defined a decade. Join Brian.

Do you have a drawer in your house containing old mobile phones, maybe a Walkman or a Nokia 3210 from eons ago? Before you ditch them, consider whether or not they might actually have some value…Ciara O'Brien, Tech Correspondent for the Irish Times, has been writing about this, and joins Seán to discuss.
Drew and Rory decided to take this episode live, which means things got real fast. Questions flew in from all over the world, Faye (Rory's toddler) made her obligatory guest appearance (in spirit), and somehow, we managed to sound like we knew what we were talking about.We covered the latest Midjourney updates (V7? Maybe. Maybe not.), tackled impossible prompting challenges (Brazil is not just favelas, thank you), and gave our best shot at solving the age-old problem of getting Midjourney to chill out with its flawless model faces. Also, Walkmans? Apparently, AI has no idea what those are.If you've ever wondered how to create consistent characters, why stylize settings actually matter, or what happens when you bring audience members on stage, this one's for you. Just don't ask us to prep next time—clearly, we do better without it.Ep. 32—Midjourney Questions Answered
We've always thought of ourselves as a little Looney here at Beat of the Month, and this episode we decided to lean into that with an episode all about video games based on cartoons! We cover some old favorites such as Aladdin and The Lion King, some new cartoon based games like Bluey, and then a whole bunch of South Park games - 4 of them to be exact! Throughout the episode we also share a bit of our memories with cartoons and what it was like after a hard day of school and turning on some Tiny Toon Adventures. There's an extra large dose of cartoon game trivia at the end, and we also cover other games that we've been playing lately. Not only that, but we look back all the way to episode #1 for a special clip - lyin' king indeed... So grab your Hi-C ecto cooler, plug in your Walkman, and join us for this episode on Cartoon Games! Oh, and just in case you happen to be new to the show - while the topic might be cartoon games, our show is not for kids!
“It's just the way music is consumed. My kids went to summer camp, and they wanted to, like, bring music with them. But they're not allowed to have electronic devices, like, they can't bring a phone. And my son was, like, ‘Oh, I'll just take my phone.' And I'm like, ‘No, you don't understand, like, you're not going to have internet.' And they're like, ‘Well, how do I get the music from, like, Spotify, like, on my phone?' I'm like, ‘You can't without internet.' And just the whole concept, like, you used to carry a record or even a cassette or a CD, and it was physical, and you had it.” – Sherene Strausberg This episode is the second half of my conversation with Emmy-nominated art director, sound engineer, and founder and creative director of 87th Street Creative Sherene Strausberg as we talk about her work to bring diversity to sound, how streaming audio is creating a generation gap and what that might mean for marketers, and whether the days of going to the movie theater have come and gone.

Both those things really help – and I'd love to feature your review on future podcasts. (0:00:00) - Creating Audio for VisualsOur conversation picks up as Sherene shares her approach to combining visual and sonic elements for an effective branding strategy, and her recent work on a particularly compelling, and challenging, animation project. “It was for a nonprofit named Womankind, the opening part of this animated video I did for them was about, you know, these really devastating statistics,” she tells us. “But then it kind of changed tone... and so we needed a real shift, and no track was able to really do that in the timing that we needed. So I ended up using two different tracks and through the power of music editing we were able to very smoothly change that tone.” She tells us more about her work with diverse composers and voices, and partnering with such groups as One Percent for the Planet. “I make animated videos,” she explains, “I can't clean the carbon out of the air with my business, right? That's not what I do… but it's finally getting me to put sort of, like, you know, my money where my mouth is.”(0:08:24) - Evolution of Audio TechnologyWe look at how sound technology has moved from big and loud to small and private, and how sound has shifted from a communal to a personal experience. “You know, go back to the ‘80s when suddenly there were Walkmans and you were listening on these tiny headphones,” she says, “but then it became the tiny music file that went into the tiny headphones.” The discussion turns to where such a trend might lead, and she wonders if a theatrical experience like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice could ever be replaced by streaming media. “Sure, yeah, it fills your peripheral vision,” she says about virtual and augmented reality. “It's bigger in scope but smaller in experience, you're obviously not experiencing it communally... I feel like I'll be saying to my kids, ‘In my day we went to movie theaters.'"(0:17:02) - Power of Sound in MediaWe discuss
In the first episode of 2025, Mikah and Abrar discuss Meta's plans to add AI bots to their social media platforms, the rise of AI-generated phishing scams, the trend of parents giving their kids retro tech devices to reduce screen time, and the current state and future potential of passkeys for secure logins. Meta plans to populate Facebook and Instagram with AI-generated bot accounts that can create content, share posts, and interact with users, in an effort to drive engagement as user growth stagnates. Abrar and Mikah debate the pros and cons of AI bots on social media. Cybersecurity experts have seen a significant increase in sophisticated phishing scams using AI to generate hyper-personalized messages mimicking people's communication styles, with over 90% of successful cyberattacks now beginning with phishing emails. Abrar and Mikah discuss cybersecurity training and email filtering used by companies to combat this. There's a growing trend of parents gifting their kids retro tech like Walkmans, portable CD players, and MP3 players in an effort to reduce screen time. Mikah and Abrar reflect on the appeal of single-purpose devices and bonding over music. Passkeys, a new login technology aiming to replace passwords, have seen increasing adoption but face usability challenges and inconsistent implementation across sites and devices. Mikah explains how passkeys work and recommends using password managers for now, as both hosts agree passkeys aren't quite ready for mainstream adoption yet.

This movie has everything: neon-soaked 1980s chaos, VHS tapes with a body count, and Mia Goth delivering a performance so intense it could melt a Walkman. If you're into slasher flicks with a synthwave soundtrack and enough twists to snap a Rubik's Cube, this episode's for you!Help Support our HV Family: www.Patreon.com/HorrorVirginWhat did you think of this episode?
