About this episode

Peter Witham discusses the importance of owning physical media over digital streaming services and the illusion of ownership in the digital age.

Are you really owning your media? In this episode, I share why I'm ditching streaming services and going back to physical media — DVDs, CDs, and even MP3 players. From music that gets swapped out without your knowledge to digital purchases that just disappear, the illusion of ownership is real. Plus, I'm bringing the cloud home with self-hosted services. Let's talk about taking back control. Buy me a coffee to support this Podcast https://www.peterwitham.com/bmc ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
