The Love of Analog

In "The Love of Analog," philosopher Darren Hudson Hick explores the significance of analog media—such as vinyl records, board games, and paperback books—illuminating how these objects reflect our values. Through personal anecdotes, hand-drawn illustrations, and a blend of scholarship in value theory, psychology, and sociology, Hick examines the pleasures of material culture and the reasons behind the resurgence of analog media. This engaging narrative invites listeners to reflect on what truly matters to us in our everyday lives, framing the act of engaging with analog objects as a celebration of our shared humanity.
