Mixtapes, Napster, and Clunker Cars
11/06/24 • 67 min
In this episode of Are We Old?, Mike Finoia and Charles McBee take you back to the glory days of music on-the-go—from Walkmans and cassette tapes to the early days of Napster and questionable download speeds. They laugh over their attempts to record songs off the radio and reminisce about sharing mixtapes with friends (and crushes!). The guys also reveal the hilarious—and slightly tragic—stories behind their first cars, aka the clunkers that somehow got them through high school.
Join in on the laughs, memories, and pure 80s/90s nostalgia! Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast, and follow us on social media to stay tuned for more old-school stories and laughs!
