In a different kind of time travel this week, Mark and I welcomed Henry Potts back onto the show to talk about his recollections of the first Yes online discussions he was involved with in the early 1990s.
After I posted some photos of the Yes fanzines I have in my collection on the Patreon group, Simon Barrow suggested we speak to Henry who has always been at the vanguard of Yes fans on the internet. He shared some fascinating insights into exactly how the first systems worked and how the 'scene' morphed and developed over the decades. Of course, we'd love to hear about your own earliest online experiences of Yes fandom so please do add your comments to the show notes for this week over at YesMusicPodcast.com.
When did the concept of online discussion begin?
What were the first websites and fan forums?
How has it all changed?
