From the 1st web page to today’s sprawling internet, the web has reshaped how we live. 🌐

Hear Sir Tim Berners-Lee & Brewster Kahle on the Future Knowledge #podcast discuss the web’s rapid growth & why preserving it matters for generations to come.

Podcast cover for Episode #13 of 'Future Knowledge' titled 'Building and Preserving the Web.' The design features portraits of speakers Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Brewster Kahle. Surrounding them are collage-style retro-futuristic elements, including a classical statue head, a vintage computer with the word "NEW" on its screen, a modernist observation tower, and abstract architectural shapes. The title uses bold, blocky typography, giving the cover a vintage sci-fi aesthetic.
