Rebooting the Tiny Typecast

Last year, I posted five episodes of a new podcast about type and printing history, past and present. It covered pure history (studying the past), how the history influences the present, and how we’re legitimately making history. Between pandemic and Tiny Type Museums and other work, I pressed pause, but restarted the series in March. Three episodes are now out, and another eight are either recorded or scheduled. The plan is to release episodes every other week at least through July, and likely into the fall.
