Old School vs New School (Episode 152)

Описание: Was old school REALLY better… or are we just getting older?

In this episode of The Best Things Podcast, Craig and Aaron debate Old School vs New School and ask the ultimate nostalgia question: are modern things actually worse, or do we just romanticize the past?

We break down classic vs modern technology, entertainment, sports culture, communication, and everyday life upgrades. From flip phones vs smartphones, VHS vs streaming, paper maps vs GPS, answering machines vs voicemail, and even old cartoons vs today’s animation, we’re asking what actually improved… and what secretly got worse.

No brackets. No rankings. Just a real conversation about nostalgia, progress, and whether we’ve officially become the “back in my day” guys.

If you’ve ever said:
• “They don’t make things like they used to”
• “Music was better in the 90s”
• “Social media ruined everything”
• “Streaming is way better than cable ever was”

…this episode is for you.
