In this PCPS Light, we’re talking about something we can’t stop noticing: analog is having a moment, and Gen X saw it coming.

From writing by hand to creative hobbies to simply slowing down, we explore why so many people (including our kids) are craving a break from constant screens. Is it nostalgia? Maybe. But it also feels like something deeper. It's like our brains and bodies asking for a different pace.

This episode is part cultural observation, part personal reflection, and full of the usual tangents. If you’ve been feeling a little digitally overwhelmed, consider this your gentle nudge to pick something up… that isn’t your phone.
