Tudor Sykes ,

Great podcast!

Love this podcast. Always look forward to the new episode dropping on Friday. The updates at the start nicely sum up what's been happening in the world of retro and the interviews are always interesting too (even if I've never heard of the guest!) All the presenters are engaging and enthusiastic too. Great work lads!

Best retro podcast

Been listening for a few years now and look forward to it every week. The three lads are top quality and it’s obvious they have a real love for retro gaming. The interviews are what makes this podcast unique and ultimately the best out there.

A bit of critique though lads, please please cut down on saying kinda/kind of, ya know and pronouncing “Th” words “f” or “vee/vuh” 🤣

Keep up the good work 👍

Retro Delight!

If you’re into retro computing, games, etc then this is a definite must!

I discovered the show only recently and previously never really listened to any podcasts on a regular basis but this one has me hooked. The banter is good between the presenters and the knowledge shared is invaluable to anyone interested in retro. The guest spot is a real bonus.

Going through the back catalogue of podcasts has also been enjoyable to listen to also whilst I wait for a new podcast. It has taken me back to the old Amiga days when Kick Off and SWOS were rivals (as far as the fans were concerned) - I was always a SWOS fan myself!

I now look forward to Fridays when each show is released. Keep up the good work guys!
