About this listen
In 1979, Sony introduced the Walkman and forever changed the way the world listened to music. For the first time, sound became private, portable, and deeply personal. In this episode of Pop Origins, we explore how a small cassette player sparked the mixtape culture, fueled the jogging boom, shaped teenage identity, and paved the way for the iPod and the smartphone. The Walkman wasn’t just technology; it was freedom in your pocket.
