Fantastic podcast!

Touches all the right retro vibes with the best guest and ofcourse great hosts with the right chemistry!

Top 3 retro shows

Unlike a lot of shows that deal with retro computing, this one is polished with a good balance of news and interviews.

Only gripe is that the show is heavily Amiga-focussed and could do with some more items on the 80s-90s PC DOS gaming era.
