Thank you for the memories

This takes me back to my days of high school and early programming. The podcast is informative, nostalgic, and entertaining. I appreciate the investment taken to create this show. It is a lot of work I’m sure but rest assured, it is an escape to simpler times and motivation to keep this platform alive. Thank you.

Great Podcast, brings back fun memories

I enjoy TRS-80 Trash Talk very much. It brings back so many wonderful memories from my childhood, when Radio Shack and TRS-80’s we’re still around.

The content, delivery and feedback are very high quality. My daily commute just wouldn’t be tolerable without this podcast.

Thank you Pete and crew- job well done!
