NEW – From Beanie Babies to Broken Gadgets: The Wild Origins of eBay

Shane Hewitt and technology expert Carmi Levy take listeners back to 1995, when eBay and PlayStation reshaped how we shop and play. They explore eBay’s quirky beginnings—from a broken laser pointer to Beanie Baby mania—and how it pioneered consumer-to-consumer e-commerce. Carmi also reflects on PlayStation’s breakthrough moment in gaming culture and the arrival of DVDs, which changed how we consumed movies forever. Together, they unpack how these innovations didn’t just launch products, but shifted the way we live, connect, and entertain ourselves.
