Growing Up Atari

“Growing Up Atari” is an engaging multigenerational podcast exploring the cultural, social, and personal experiences that have shaped different eras—from Boomers to Gen Alpha. Through stories of toys, music, movies, fashion, politics, and more, the series highlights how, despite generational differences, we share far more in common than we think. Each episode blends humor, reflection, and community-driven discussion, showing that growing up in any decade—whether with Atari consoles, smartphones, or AI—is part of the same human story.

    Episode 1: The 2600

    Since the title of this project is “Growing up Atari” let's start with just that, the Atari. The VCS or 2600 to be precise. In 1977, like many my whole world changed with the introduction of the Atari Video Computer System or Atari 2600. It was like having an arcade in your home. Sure the graphics weren't as good as the arcades and not all games had all the levels or worked the same as the arcade versions.But it changed my world forever.
