Gen Z tech rewind

Open/download audio

Gen Z is ditching do-it-all smartphones for flip phones, CD players, and even cassette tapes. Find out why old-school tech is back in style and how stars like Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter are cashing in. Don’t toss that dusty Walkman yet, it might be worth more than you think!

🔭 Seeing too many stars: Get this, Neil DeGrasse Tyson had to tell people he’s not promoting flat Earth videos. Yep, deepfakes got so real that even Terry Crews believed one. Neil says he’s cool with parodies, but if it looks real? “You’ve crossed a line.” I always wanted to ask him, “How different do you think your life would have been if your parents named you Moe instead of Neil, and would you still use your full name?”
