    14 - Sonic and Knuckles on the Mega Drive with DJ Slopes

    If you haven't heard of DJ Slopes, I stronly recommend you check out his YouTube channels. His Kickscammer playlist is one of my favourite on the internet. He makes funny, interesting and intelligent videos and hopefully you'll get a kick out of watching them. Here is his YT - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC455p7ts9lh8IWi5zuf_8tQ

    13 - Airwolf on the ZX Spectrum with Rose Tinted Spectrum

    I was lucky enough to have Dave (RTS) get in touch with me when I started doing this delightful little pod. Not only was I grateful because he is a decent human being, but also because it meant I became aware of his excellent YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@RoseTintedSpectrum It's absolutely brilliant. Very funny, quite sweary and put together with a lot of love and detail.
    In this episode we barely mention the game he brought...totally my fault, I was fanboying a little bit. If you do watch some of his videos, be sure to mention you heard him here first.
    Oh and if you are a Speccy owner...there's a cheeky bonus for you at the end of the pod.

    12 - Sim on the BBC with Iain Lee

    Hello you. David Turner here. Growing up in the 90's, I was a big fan of Iain Lee. The 11 O'Clock Show made me howl and I've followed his journey since then. Whether it be stealing strawberries or winding people up on late night radio, he's always a fun character.

    11 - Doom on the PC with ctrl-alt-rees

    Rees hosts a YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/ctrlaltrees where he makes some fascinating videos explaining consoles, computers and games. He also spends a lot of time restoring old machines. I find the latter incredibly relaxing. I have no real idea what he's doing, but for me it's almost meditative. He also host a delightful podcast called Rees Rambles. https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reesrambles

    10 - Election on the ZX Spectrum with Count Binface

    Something slightly different this week and a real thrill for me. Count Binface comes from the planet Sigma 9 and has decided to try and help British politcs. He has stood in several elections including the race to be mayor of London.
    He's hoping to run again but it costs £10k. He has a GoFundMe which you can have a look at if you feel so inclined - https://www.gofundme.com/f/CountBinface2024 and check him out on Twitter https://twitter.com/CountBinface

    9 - Football Manager with Kevin Toms

    9 - Football Manager with Kevin Toms

    This episode I am joined by gaming pioneer Kevin Toms. He wrote the original Football Manager back in the early 80's Always a thrill for me to talk to the people that really were at the forefront of gaming in the UK. We do spend a lot of the time talking about late diagnosis of ADHD and as always, I learn so much talking to other ADHDers.
    You can follow Kevin on Twitter @kevintoms

    I did have a few problems with the audio and the mix isn't how I'd like it, so apologies for the levels.
