Everything 80s Rewind: VHS vs Beta

See what I did there? Rewind? VCR? Never mind...anyway, this is a look back on an early episode and one of my favorite topics: VHS vs Beta. We'll look at the origins of the VCR (it goes back to the 50s), how it changed the entertainment world forever, and how the format war between VHS and Beta began. We'll also look at how VHS ultimately won out (it has to do with football). And remember: Be kind, rewind.  Show notes: VHS vs Beta Support the Show: Patreon.com/80s
