Have you ever searched for an old comfort show after a long day only to realize it's been moved to Prime Video or Peacock or whatever new streaming service you don't have and don't want to pay for?

Or maybe you're on summer vacation trying to get the perfect photo of golden hour and that dreaded pop-up appears on your screen.

From beloved shows being wiped completely off of platforms to buying storage for $1,000 smartphones, it feels like we're at the whim of the tech companies charging us $9.99 a month or more to get access to our things.

But if I'm honest, I get the sense that we want more than just access.
matched
We want to own our things again.

We stream songs and shows and films, but we used to just have CDs, box sets, and Blu-rays.

I, for instance, have taken up buying vinyls and DVDs to maintain a collection of the art I cherish most.

But as AI, big tech and media platforms dominate more of our digital lives, I have to wonder, what does agency look like for media consumers like us?
matched
To answer that question, digital archivist Katie Kemp and culture writer at The Cut, Kat Zhang, joined the show to break down how our digital world is much more precarious than we realize and how physical media and buildable tech could empower us to envision a better future.
matched
Kat, Katie, welcome to It's Been a Minute.
matched
Hello, hello.

I'm Brittany Luce, and you're listening to It's Been a Minute from NPR, a show about what's going on in culture and why it doesn't happen by accident.
