Memory Machine #70 - The Heyday of Video Rental
Manage episode 394422762 series 2892027
For about 30 years, video rentals were a part of everyday life for anyone who owned a TV set. It allowed us to watch and re-watch our favorite movies at our leisure, discover new favorites through combing the aisles, and chat up the clerks for recommendations. To talk about these pastimes, Nick Ryan joins the podcast to talk about the history of video rental, as well as his own experiences working at such a store and being the son of owners of a local video store chain.
If you have any fun, specific memories of the old rental stores, please tell us!
