    Communication

    Jesse challenges Carmen to write her first ever snail mail letter, which she learns how to do by Googling how to do it. Jesse's mom Susan recently started up a pen pal relationship with her friend Esperanza as a way to share their histories. A Brooklyn teen, Jameson, shares why they identify as a Luddite and got rid of their smartphone in favor of a flip phone, and we hear from Carmen's abuela Griselda who just got her first smartphone, and feels closer to her family now that she can get and share audio messages on WhatsApp.

    Getting Around

    For many, mapping apps have made knowing one's way around, or even trying to use a real map irrelevant. Yet in London, aspiring cab drivers still have to take what's known as "the Knowledge Test" showing that they know every single road in the city. Jesse visits with a London black cab driver to see what it's like to still know where you're going, Carmen tries to convince her dad, who has never used Google Maps, to get his directions online, and they both go back to school to talk with a geography professor to explore the sweet spot between online and offline maps.

    Analog Trailer

    When's the last time you wrote a snail mail letter? Or got somewhere without using Google Maps? Or actually went to see a doctor in person, instead of using a screen? If you're over 40, you're probably feeling some sense of loss as analog methods for doing everyday things migrate online. If you're younger than that, there's a lot more fluidity and equity to society as tech bridges some gaps in everyday life. But as hosts Carmen Gonzalez and Jesse Hardman are finding out through their new podcast, Analog, it's not so straightforward.
