    Anyone else do conscious time-shifting like this? "Media time travel" is of particular interest to me.https://twitter.com/Archivd/status/1087767261186732032 …

    I listen to podcasts that talk about historical and current events, in order, but about 1 year behind the current date. Fascinating to compare the hot takes then with recent news.

        There's a related phenomenon of "post-blogging", I was introduced to the idea when @Airminded post-blogged the Sudeten crisis a few years ago. The NYT did a 150-years-+ bit on the Civil War, and I've seen a few others from time to time.

        There was a series on the First World War, day-by-day, as far as I can remember.

        I've been listening to @verybadwizards backwards to catch up. I will probably do the same with future pod casts I want to catch up on.

        When I started at @BerkeleyISchool in 2014, during runs I listened to all the podcasts of the Dean's lectures from the beginning (2005). Revelatory to look backwards at change in technology/business/regulation/norms, research, and the institution.

        Every summer my dad reads magazines from the 90s and early 00s. Mostly the opinion pieces on economic outlook. It turns out that the Argentinian economy is cyclical :)

        I used to let my Economists pile up, figuring that if it seemed irrelevant by the time I got around to reading it, I never really needed to know in the first place.

        Ah, back when the Iraq war started, I started gathering support for a protest against the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, using details about that "fake news" using facts we now know. It was considered too "out there" by my contemporaries

        All the time; I actually try my best to always be consuming more media from outside the present than from the present. I’m always in old fb, old twitter, etc

        Wish I had some definite practice. I do relisten to an old podcast periodically—feels like reliving the last few years on fast forward.
