Sept. 1 -- Springfield, MO-based National Audio Company opened in 1969 and when other major manufacturers abandoned tape manufacturing for CD production in the late 1990s, the company held on tight. Now, the cassette maker is pumping out more cassettes than ever before. (Video By: Jeniece Pettitt, Ryo Ikegami)

The cassette tape comeback made zero sense to me - until I started pulling the thread.

My journey took 3 paths: a month of listening exclusively to cassettes, diving into how they revolutionized the music industry, and collecting stories of how tapes changed the world. It turns out, this is more than just nostalgia.

Over the next 4 weeks I’ll show you how cassettes aren’t “making a comeback” - they’re the foundation for the modern world.

Tatered. Tots.
36,000 years ago our ancestors, warmed and lit by fire stolen from Prometheus, painted pictures of bison and cattle in the caves of Altimira in northern Spain.
The 5th century BC Athens brought us the golden age of Pericles, the birth of democracy, and Artistotle's Poetics, the framework for every story since told.
The 17th century was Shakespeare, 18th the Declaration of Independence, 19th was Nietzche.
Then for a while there was nothing. Then, there was SUPER DELUXE. Then, nothing again.
Now is Tatered.

Welcome back to Mixtape, my 4 part series about how cassette tapes changed the world. I’ve been listening to music exclusively on cassettes, and collecting stories about tapes, trying to figure out why they’re seeing a comeback. What I’ve found is mind blowing.

New technologies are just first drafts - what we actually DO with them is the real story.

Today I have two stories that push this idea in opposite directions. One shows how an art form built on cassettes settled into something simpler. The other shows how the same magnetic particles that captured “reality” ended up breaking it.

Cassette sales are at a 20 year high, but don’t call it a comeback - we live in a world reshaped by how we chose to use magnetic tape.
