A show that treats retro video games with respect

Retro Asylum is a podcast that really understands its audience as much as the topics they cover. Exquisitely edited and well thought out, each episode is a joy to listen to. The one thing that marks out Retro Asylum from other shows of similar ilk is its engagement with the community it has built up over the years. 1,000 people have signed up to their Discord server and they do their utmost to support them.

Absolutely Brilliant!!

I found this show about a year ago and have been hooked ever since. It is funny, informative and the guys have a great rapport which comes across in every episode. I have since joined the Discord group and love that as well. Keep it up guys. I have recently been very ill and your show has gotten me through a tough time so a real genuine thank you to all of you.

Excellent podcast

Top quality podcast. An excellent collection of hosts with a lot of passion and knowledge of the subject matter. The detail that they go into when learning and discussing each game is staggering. Absolutely unmissable..
