Why digital preservation is important:
"Unlike a lot of other media, like paper and film, digital media lives as a file on a spinning piece of metal that has magnetic oxide sprayed on it, that’s inside of a vacuum inside of another box, and everything about that is utterly ridiculous. A disk drive has to be constantly moving to be read, and so whenever it’s plugged in, it’s just moving. And they’ve come up with ways to mitigate the destruction, but over time it WILL DIE."
-Jason Scott, archivist, as quoted in Preserve This Podcast
Preservation gets less attention than some other aspects of podcasting. However, making sure your podcast will still be accessible many years from now is actually a vital part of any podcasting project. If you don't take steps to securely store and protect your podcast's files, all of your hard work will someday be lost, and that also means that future listeners will lose an irreplaceable snapshot of history. Don't take this lightly! Listen to the five short episodes of Preserve This Podcast, and then take a look at the rest of the materials on their website.
