The Future Isn’t Fully Digital: Why Libraries Still Matter

For this episode, I turn to an unexpected hero in the streaming age: your local library. As catalogs fragment and subscription costs increase, libraries are quietly remaining the last true video rental stores, keeping classic films available when platforms drop them. We explore access, licensing hurdles, and why physical media still protect culture. If you miss the joy of browsing shelves—and the surprise of discovery—this will make you smile and maybe prompt a visit to the stacks.
