Artifacts: Stories from the Emotional History of the Internet
Includes transcripts
Artifacts is a storytelling podcast about the forgotten things that still shape us.
From dead platforms and failed consoles to burned CDs, AIM away messages, movie rental stores, and the weird early internet, each episode explores the emotional connection we still have to the technology, media, and cultural moments we thought we’d left behind.
But this isn’t just nostalgia. It’s about memory. Creativity. Identity. Community. And why some artifacts from the past still feel more human than the polished digital world we live in today.
Hosted by award-winning podcaster Danny Brown, Artifacts blends internet culture, personal storytelling, and reflective cultural analysis into a show about the feelings we attach to the things we carry with us.
Because sometimes the objects fade. But the feeling doesn’t.
