There are so many reasons that some stories survive and others don't. In this episode I talk to Thomas O'Mahony, podcaster, podcast producer, and digital conservationist about DVD rot and the importance of preserving physical media.
Fewer sources this week as it was an interview episode. Some of Tom’s podcasts are https://linktr.ee/beneaththeskinpod and https://www.patreon.com/c/ThisGuySucked/posts?redirect=true
