Annual Holiday Special!

The Sniffer

Hello! It's time for that annual Sniffer tradition of surprising and often completely impractical holiday gifts!

Nora talks about the resurgence of interest in cassette tapes. Check out this Wired how-to article. You may also be interested in this recent episode of Nora's show, Spark, on the long range impact of the Sony Walkman.

Cathi's gift pick, should you care to buy it for her, is this Nemo personal submarine.

She also has an update on The Line megacity. You can see drone images here. Read one of the critiques of the project here. Cathi has concerns that these sorts of projects are a sign of a climate crisis future.

Thank you for listening! We hope you have a lovely, restful holiday, and all good wishes for 2023
