From my subjective experience, having "been there at the time", I think this was sufficiently obscure that "not really a thing" is not an unreasonable take. It's a bit like "Yes, in the 2020s we got NFTs tattooed on our bodies".
Edit: Although having just googled it it seems like NFT tattoos might be more of a thing than I was aware, so what do I know.
- flohofwoe 2y agoIt was 'big in East Germany' though (see my comment about Prof Dr Horst Voelz). A translated section from that link: "The response to the show was unexpectedly overwhelming. Over the course of the approximately 60 episodes, the station received a total of approximately 50,000 letters from listeners. This was unprecedented in the history of broadcasting." ...and of course as a teenager I was eagerly awaiting each show and recorded the programs that were broadcasted at the end :)
- p3rls 2y agoEh, I was a little too young to be there at the time but your experience sounds infinitely cooler than a NFT tattoo which just might be the lamest thing I've heard in my life and I feel worse about the world for learning about.
- koonsolo 2y agoIt's probably obscure, but anyone from that time would find it plausible because we know both radio and computers used cassettes. So for me, this title was "Yeah, I get it how that would work". For fun I just asked my 16 year old son "Do you think it was possible in the past to download a computer game from the radio?". He thought is was impossible, and had no clue how that would work when asked further :D. It totally confused him because "you can't play games on a radio". Those were indeed different times.
