The first season of Rental Return - Tales From the Video Store has begun! We hope you enjoyed our preview episode featuring Adam, Chad, and Jason's memories of visiting video stores back in the day, but now it's time to give our Video Heroes the spotlight in Episode 1 of Rental Return.

Episode 1 "Meet the Heroes" will be your introduction to the interviewees in Season 1 of Rental Return. Our "Video Heroes" include Amanda Stefaniuk, Chris Tanski, Christian McGalliard, Gary Keffer, JP Vriess, Preston Burt, and Zac Shipley. You will get to hear about their first experiences with renting VHS tapes and what their local video stores were like. In Amanda's case, you'll get to hear what it was like having parents who owned a video rental store. You'll also hear our heroes' thoughts on how cable television impacted their movie experience and what some of their favorite rentals were as kids.
