About the Podcast

Artifacts: Stories from the Emotional History of the Internet
A storytelling podcast about the moments technology quietly changed what it meant to be human.
Artifacts is a storytelling podcast about the moments technology quietly changed what it meant to be human.

Each episode begins with a familiar artifact - a burned CD, a dial-up modem, a movie rental store, a family computer, a paper map - and unfolds into a story about memory, identity, creativity, belonging, curiosity, and the experiences we still carry with us today.

This isn't a show about old technology. It's about the people who grew up alongside it.

Hosted by award-winning podcaster Danny Brown, Artifacts blends personal storytelling, cultural history, and thoughtful reflection to explore why some of the most ordinary objects became the milestones of our lives.

Because sometimes the objects fade, but the feeling doesn't.

Danny Brown

Danny Brown is the host of Artifacts, a storytelling podcast exploring dead tech, lost media, gaming culture, and the emotional history of the internet. He's a Gen X nerd who grew up when dial-up tones were a magical sound of the future, Limewire was in its infancy, and AIM was the original Twitter.

He lives in beautiful Muskoka, Ontario, Canada with his wife, two kids, and various fur babies. He spends winters in front of a cozy fire and summers by the lake. Well, when he finds time away from nerd culture, of course...
