Computer Love is a monthly column that investigates technology with the purpose of making it feel less dense and more fun. In this installment we examine a personal history of podcasting and the shaky ground the medium rests on today.
Can you feel it? That sinking feeling… that the podcasts you love aren’t hitting the same? They don’t take you into a reverie.
