After discovering that three young men under the age of 25 had no idea who M.C. Hammer was (or what ‘hammertime’ was all about) we laughed a bit. Thinking about that more it is interesting how context and the past shape our culture and thinking about many things, including technology. “The Hammerettes” hope to bring that sort of contemplative, deeper thinking to our podcast.
Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins and Phil Wilson.
Music: Wheel to Keep Rollin’ by The Raunchtones. Brought to us by Music Alley.
