Despite the changing landscape, the core concerns around people's data and security remain the same.

Regarding audio quality, Tom, an audio nerd himself, stresses its importance in retaining listeners.

Will We Have Vintage Gadgets In The Future? | Unusual Gatherings | With Diana Kelley, Limor Kessem, Chris Roberts, Cody Wamsley, and Scott Scheferman
Audio Signals Podcast
12/09/20 • 60 min
Nostalgia is not as good as it used to be. 😬 Each generation talks about the "good ole days" and how life was simpler, better; even the toys were so much simpler and more fun back then. Then technology kicked in — what's up next?
From manual to mechanical; kinetic to electronic; analog to digital; calculator to a personal computer; telephone to the Internet — "real" reality to virtual and augmented versions, human intelligence to artificial intelligence — and everything in between, and beyond.
Lately, each generation has found itself in the middle of some technological transformation. In the past 70 years, this has happened more often, and it has affected our society and personal everyday life in much more profound and significant ways.
In the 80s, many exceptional transformations took place — we could consider it the portal that brought us in direct contact with the modern digital technology age. Faster than any past transformation before, our work, family, friends, and personal lives changed in front of our own eyes and opened the way to an unstoppable and constant change. Moore's law can give an idea of the magnitude here, but it may miss the full extent of today's technological evolution.
We start the conversation today by looking back at the many electronic gadgets, our first electronic games, Walkman's, digital watches, and the first computers of our younger age. Then we try to understand what made them so unique and so magical to have captured our attention at the time; in many cases, they actually shaped our future professional lives.
Will the young generations of today look back at a smartphone the same way we look at a VHS player back then? What made that technology so unique? What makes vintage electronics and gadgets still capture our attention and the desire to bring those back into our lives even today. Maybe even more than ever.
This is where technology and life meet, but we promise that these conversations will not stop here. We do not know where they will go, but if you stay tuned, you will know when we do.

Episode Introduction
In this remarkable episode of the Audio Signals podcast, host Marco Ciappelli invites us into a whirlwind journey of storytelling and activism with Reverend Billy, the charismatic preacher of the Church of Stop Shopping. This conversation isn't just another run-of-the-mill discussion. It is a compelling mixture of entertainment, philosophical digressions, radical activism, and entrancing narratives.
Reverend Billy stage is New York City, where he leads a group of zealous performers followers in the Church of Stop Shopping. They are activists at their core, being environmentally driven and anti-consumerist in spirit. Loaded with the energy of a typical New Yorker and the fierceness of an earth defender, Reverend Billy navigates conversations on music, storytelling, and performance.
Reverend Billy’s journey is anything but ordinary. Having grown up with abusive right-wing Christian parents, he struggled to break free from their oppressive beliefs. Eventually, he was introduced to an Episcopal priest, Sidney Lanier, who helped him regain his faith, not in institutionalized religion, but in a more secular sense, in nature, activism and the power of storytelling.
Reverend Billy believes in the pivotal role that storytelling plays in societal transformation. He believes that, just like how tales coming out of worship can make a societal impact, so can stories of resistance and activism. He takes us on a deep dive into his own experiences, influential childhood memories, vivid dreams, and powerful narratives.
The episode emphasizes the importance of radical activism. Reverend Billy's work is deeply rooted in anti-consumerism and resistance to harmful corporate activities. His tales remind us of the need for conscientious living and eco-awareness in a world captivated by excessive consumerism.
Reverend Billy warns about the impending perils of environmental damage. Profound and passionate, his final discourse reminds us of the urgent need to care for the planet.
This episode is not only a melting pot of philosophies, humorous anecdotes, and enlightening commentary, but also a pressing reminder of the need for collective eco-sustainability efforts.

Episode Introduction
“A DEA agent is found dead in mysterious circumstances in Paraguay. To protect his wife, a retiring prosecutor tries to label it as an overdose. The US sends an FBI agent to uncover the facts, confronting Paraguay’s corrupt justice system against America’s pursuit of truth.”
Hello and welcome back to the Audio Signals Podcast, where we muse on stories and storytellers. I'm Marco Ciappelli, your host, and I'm thrilled to have you here with us today. If you're new to the show, we dive deep into stories, storytelling, and the storytellers who create and share these narratives using a multitude of different media. In this show, I like to analyze not just the narrative but also the societal and sometimes technological layers that often go unnoticed, along with all that goes on behind the scenes of a story—whatever the format might be.
Alright, let's get to it. Today is special—no, it’s extraordinary. Why? Because we're taking a trip through the corridors of justice with a Paraguayan twist. We're going to explore "Old Fox's Justice," a legal drama set to hit the Off-Broadway New York theater scene, but with its soul deeply entrenched in the rich soil of Paraguay. Trust me, you're going to want to hear all about this. It's not just another courtroom drama; it's an exploration of justice, culture, and humanity at an intersection that most people wouldn't even consider.
With me today are Tahiana Larissa and Marco Augusto Ferreira. These two writers, both natives of Paraguay, have gone above and beyond to craft a tale that places two justice systems in a head-on collision and forces us to examine our own perspectives. If you're intrigued by the interplay of societal structures and individual narratives, you cannot afford to miss this conversation.
What's fascinating here is the universality of the story. Justice, as a concept, transcends borders. Yet, it's deeply influenced by the societies and cultures from which it originates. So when you throw the U.S. and Paraguayan systems into a pot and stir, what exactly bubbles to the surface? That's what we're here to explore. We'll also delve into the adventure of bringing a play to life on stage, discussing everything it takes to produce it—from actors to directors, costumes, and all the details and immense amount of work that goes behind it.
So sit tight, grab your beverage of choice, or just your favorite chair, and gear up for a session that promises to be enlightening, entertaining, and certainly inspiring.
Be sure to subscribe to the Audio Signals Podcast and share it with your friends and family so that we can all sit around a digital campfire and enjoy some good stories!

About the Book
NASA's space shuttle was the world's first reusable spacecraft, accomplishing many firsts and inspiring generations across its 30-year lifespan as America's iconic spaceship. In Space Shuttle Stories, shuttle astronaut Tom Jones interviewed more than 130 fellow astronauts for personal vignettes from each mission, complemented by their written accounts for all 135 space shuttle missions, from Columbia's maiden flight in 1981 to the final launch of Atlantis in 2011. The book is a major contribution to the historical record of a momentous era of spaceflight.
Each mission profile includes:
An astronaut narrative that immerses the readers in their personal mission experience
Data about the mission, crew, launch, landing, duration, and highlights
Captivating photographs rarely seen by the public
The Space Shuttle program’s 6 orbiter vehicles (Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour) carried a total of 355 astronauts into orbit on 135 missions aimed at cutting-edge scientific research, satellite launch, retrieval and repair, collaborative work with the Russian Mir station, the launching and servicing of the Hubble Space Telescope, and the construction of the International Space Station. Space Shuttle Stories focuses on the lived, human experiences of larger-than-life space missions. It's a definitive oral history that captures the importance, wonder, and exhilaration of the Space Shuttle era.

Show Notes
You never know where it will start and, even less, where it will end up when Marco and Sean get together with Rafael & Carey. This episode marks the 5th time, and they talk about:
The need to hype technology, sometimes even when there is not really much to talk about,
The "real world" consequences of actions that take place in virtual reality/metaverse environments.
Is there such thing as too many "play-time" choices for kids nowadays? And is that a bad thing?
Are the new generation losing touch with reality, and is the concept of time too relative in gaming?
They get pretty philosophical but always with a touch of fun.
Join the conversation and put your thinking hat on! It is mandatory!

It was a dark and stormy night ... Ok, what happened? But, wait — How stormy? Lightning? Thunders? How dark? Where?
You could leave that to the listener/reader's imagination when you tell a story, but when you need to visualize it, how you render it will lead the audience into the story.
In this episode, we welcome back Rafael and Carey to continue our videogame and storytelling conversation we started last month [ https://audiosignals.simplecast.com/episodes/games-blockchain-cloud-storytelling-and-metaverse-a-conversation-with-rafael-brown-and-carey-dsouza-audio-signals-podcast-with-marco-ciappelli-sean-martin ]
We started with some old-school Arcade Games talks and how the evolution of technology has changed how we can build scripts and stories for games and movies. Of course, there are many parallels and divergences in the gaming and movie industry, but there is a big lesson on how knowing the technology you have at hand can help or damage the story you choose to tell.
We also discuss the differences between large and indie projects and the best environment to promote creativity outside the box: budgets, time pressure, team size, available technology, a good story, and what else can add to the perfect mix that can promote innovation and genius?
Is the book always better than the movie? Or the game? Or what is it that makes great? Maybe it is the correct adaptation to the medium used, and sometimes maybe is even better to tell a partially different story — BladeRunner case, anyone?!
We can say that Marshall McLuhan was right: "The medium is the message" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_medium_is_the_message]
BTW, did you watch Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers? [ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3513500/ ]
Well, according to Rafael, it should be on your list!
Enjoy this conversation, catch up on the first one, and stay tuned for more!

Episode Introduction
In the latest episode of the "Audio Signals Podcast," Marco Ciappelli welcomes Raymond Paul Johnson to discuss his new book, "Conspiracy Ignited," the ins and outs of storytelling, and the personal and professional journey from United States Air Force fighter pilot to engineer on the space shuttle program, successful trial lawyer, and ultimately to becoming a novelist. The candid conversation unveils insights into Ray's writing process, the challenges he faced, and the elements that make his thriller a compelling read.
The Introduction: A Deep Dive into Stories and Storytelling
Marco Ciappelli opens the episode with a warm welcome to the listeners, setting the stage for a journey into storytelling, creativity, and the essence of creating narratives. He introduces Raymond Paul Johnson, noting the fascinating transitions in Ray's career and how his life experiences culminate in the creation of his first novel, "Conspiracy Ignited."
Raymond begins by expressing his excitement and gratitude for being on the show and looking forward to the engaging discussion.
Who is Raymond Paul Johnson?
Ray shares a bit about his past, including his time as a combat pilot in the Air Force, his stint as an engineer on the space shuttle program, and his eventual transition to becoming a trial lawyer. He humorously recounts a prophetic encounter with his high school teacher who foresaw his future as something other than an engineer or pilot. This narrative paints a vivid picture of his multifaceted life, leading up to his unexpected yet fulfilling path as a novelist.
Ray's Writing Journey: From Courtrooms to Creative Pages
One of the key takeaways from the discussion is Ray's approach to writing. He identifies himself as a "pantser" — a writer who doesn't plot out the story but allows it to evolve organically. This method, he explains, makes the process enjoyable and keeps him surprised by the twists and turns his characters take.
He shares his influences, including Hemingway, and underscores the importance of writing what you know. For Ray, this means crafting narratives that intertwine his personal experiences with fiction, creating a textured and believable story.
Exploring "Conspiracy Ignited"
The conversation naturally flows into the main topic of the episode — Ray's novel, "Conspiracy Ignited." Marco praises the book's ability to blend reality with fiction and inquires about the real-life inspirations behind the characters and plotlines. Ray dives deeper into the protagonist, Eric Ridge, a lawyer who is also a former CIA combat pilot, and how his life mirrors certain aspects of Ray's own experiences.
Ray touches on significant themes in his book, like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), based on his interactions with veterans and his work with the American Legion’s "Be The One" program. This initiative focuses on supporting veterans suffering from PTSD, and Ray incorporates this real-world issue seamlessly into his narrative, adding depth and provoking thought.
The Art of Storytelling
Marco and Ray shift the discussion to the broader concept of storytelling. Ray reflects on his years as a trial lawyer, explaining how vital storytelling is in presenting cases ...
