Customer Reviews
One of the best Retro computing podcasts
Knowledgable hosts, good audio, nostalgia remains on point, no politics. Although I missed the the hosts's prime nostalgia years by a decade or so it remains interesting to listen to, even being from the Europe area - where I never even saw an Apple II.
Unlike many other podcasts, there is no gaming focus, instead looking at the technology from a general enthusiast view-point.
One of the hosts even alledges to have a girlfriend from Canada, but you wouldn't know her...
