2 Seasons Dec 02, 2019 TV-PG 20m 7.7

When the Sony Walkman hit the market in the 1970s, it was the first time we were able to take our music with us on-the-go. Marques explores this iconic piece of tech—from the inspiration behind its compact design to how it changed portable audio forever. He also enlist the help of fellow YouTube creator Judner A.K.A. Uravgconsumer to fix a busted Walkman. The Gregory Brothers join me to test out whether a vintage Walkman is durable enough to survive a game of ultimate frisbee.
