About this listen
In Part 2 of the Austin Typewriter, Ink. conversation, Dr. Richard Polt, The Typewriter Revolution, the talk moves past theory and into how typewriters actually shape the way people think, write, and connect. Starting with a story from one of David’s pop-up type-ins, Polt reflects on the quiet power of shared, analog experiences, then explores the Classic Typewriter Page, the thrill of collecting, teaching with typewriters, and why no single machine or website should ever define the whole community. The conversation naturally drifts into craftsmanship, art, AI, and the future of writing, with Polt making the case that typewriters matter not as nostalgia, but as human-scale tools that slow us down, sharpen attention, and create moments you truly “had to be there” to experience.
