A Podcast about growing with a twin brother up In the 70s and 80s, at the dawn of video games, navigating family strife, punk rock, Star Wars obsessions, and
trying to understand the world while developing an inexplicable
love for everything “Atari”.
--
In this podcast we discuss Atari computers and systems, new and old, review new games we collect, talk about all the systems, and the significance they had in our lives and the lives of others, and even talk about them in an historical context with the backdrop the times they were released, and how they are being used now.
We do all this in an effort to finally understand the answer to this existential question: what does it mean to have grown up in the generation of "the Vertical blank."

Customer Reviews
This is the reason why podcasts were created
These twin brothers deliver an excellent podcast every week. Their “vertical blank” theme ties into so many facets of Atari gaming and that generation and is something I connect deeply with. Their interviews are excellent and as game designers, they know their stuff which helps. Every story they tell mirrors my childhood in some way (and I’m sure many other listeners as well), even the stories that tangentially involve video games. This podcast is the reason why podcasts were created.
Second Only to Ferg
Love the stories, love the interviews. But the best thing for me about this amazing, incredibly listenable pod is the presence and continued emphasis on the 7800. As a fan and budding 7800 home brew programmer myself, I can’t wait to hear where this show seems to be headed! Looking forward to it!
Great Retro Gaming Podcast
As an Intellivision junkier back in the day this is one of the best Atari specific gaming podcasts around! Their stories and the great interviews are unmatched. I hope they’ll be around for many years to come!
