Are You a Fan of Off The Beaten Path Media?
I am a huge fan of niche publications. Something about a person who carves out their own place among the throng of voices strikes a harmonizing chord with me.
Because of this I often “surf” with the very purpose of finding those inter”nuggets” in mind.
I’ve recently discovered the site of a gentleman named, Harry Heuser which focuses on the niche of mid twentieth century media.
The about section states,
This journal was conceived as an unacademic continuation of my [ Harry’s} doctoral study Etherized Victorians. It chiefly concerns western popular culture of the early to mid-20th century—broadcasts, books, movies and plays anyone can still access using 21st-century media. Without being nostalgic, I am sampling “unpopular culture” (pop presumably past its sell-by date) and relate it to our present everyday.
I found the work quite interesting and will be checking in on him periodically.
Here is the link if you wish to do so, as well.
