McQuaid Arcade: The 80s and Beyond

Brings back great memories of going to grade school with you two! Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Such a fantastic time to grow up.

I have a rather long commute everyday and have found this podcast a hidden gem. Part silly banter between the hosts, part intellectual discussion on the subjects, and 100% nostaligic. You wont be disappointed.

Every episode brings me back to my childhood. So well done.

Loving this series! So great to re-meet some games I’ve played and movies I’ve seen but also to be introduced to ones I never got to or never heard of! I definitely added some titles to my queue. The game and movie news, reviews, and explorations are all great but Barney & Biggs give some great meta-analysis throughout of why we connect with these things in the first place (and just as often why we don’t). And by reflecting on past games/movies vs present, they get to unpack the relationship of the future we thought we’d have to the one we are living (or the games we thought we wanted to the games we got!) Light, funny, and deep, what can I say, I’m a fan!
