The Analog Renaissance, Episode 9: Come With Me

About this episode

In this final episode, Bonnie Christine explores the rise of analog culture and shares her most ambitious creative project yet.

When Bonnie Christine gathered her team together in April 2025, she asked a question that would change everything: What if the biggest innovation isn't digital at all? The data was undeniable. Vinyl sales hitting 18 consecutive years of growth. Barnes & Noble opening 60 new stores. Eleven million Americans are raising backyard chickens. 80% of Americans now garden, a 5-year high. Etsy's reporting a 40% surge in analog-themed shops. This wasn't nostalgia; it was a coping mechanism. A collective reaching for things we can touch in a world that feels increasingly untouchable. Welcome to The Analog Renaissance, Episode #9. In this final episode, Bonnie shares the most ambitious creative project of her career. Instead of recording another course, she asked: "What if we made something someone would want to put up on their big screen? Something beautiful to watch, not just to learn from?" Inspired by Magnolia and Florette, she reimagined all 200+ lessons as a cinematic journey. 📒 Episode Notes, Links, & Resources 📒 https://www.professionalcreative.com/blog/analog9 📝 Read the Transcript 📝 Connect with Bonnie: ▸ ONLINE | http://bonniechristine.com ▸ INSTAGRAM |…
