The Shyvers Multiphone Jukebox (Episode 53)

Everywhere you look you are surrounded by dead technology. The car
you’re driving, the television you’re watching, the phone or
computer that’s playing this podcast. Next month it will be
outpaced. Next year it will be outdated. And next decade it will
likely be obsolete. Proponents of technology always hail the latest
and greatest as the critical next step toward inventive
actualization. However, you probably wouldn’t be collecting records
or listening to this show if you didn’t have some notion of the
elegance and importance of antiquated technology. Both as relics of
times gone by and reflections of the shared needs that all humans
share no matter the era. This episode is an examination of an odd
pairing of two technologies that seem to be falling toward the
wayside...telephones and jukeboxes. Devices that require human
interaction as well as modern technology on both ends of the line.
Today an examination of Shyvers Multiphone and the legacy of
Dial-Up Music. Subscribe to Highway Hi-Fi:
