Let's Go Back To Being Unreachable

Greta Johnsen talks with Caller Allison about Baby-G watches, Delia's catalog pages, and the magic of waiting for the bus with nothing but your own thoughts. What You'll Hear: Life Before Google Existed: Greta and Allison swap stories about commercial breaks, VHS tape limits, and the lost art of arguing about trivia with no way to look it up. The Joy of Being Unreachable: Allison confesses what she misses most about pre-internet life, from not knowing what everyone's up to at all times to the simple pleasure of a watch instead of a phone. Magazines, Knitting, and Other Tangible Comforts: The two talk about why holding something physical, whether it's a People magazine or knitting needles, still feels better than another scroll.
