Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The project uses long-form, single-guest interviews as its primary source, with the host framing rather than retelling each account. Planned episodes run roughly 45 to 90 minutes and are organized into historical arcs such as Dial-Up Origins and the Broadband Transition. The site also promises transcripts, timestamped references to protocols and archival documents, guest biographies, and a public corrections process. At the time of observation, Episode 001 had not yet been released; YouTube and RSS were listed, while Apple Podcasts and Spotify were marked as forthcoming.
