I really enjoy the podcast. Keep it up.
It’s nostalgic and witty. It’s also fun to listen to his interplay with his kids; and hear their reactions.
Great reviews of each Atari game...plus some good humor thrown in!
Heard this mentioned on another podcast and, as someone raised on Atari, I thought I’d give it a try.
Started with the Raiders of the Lost Ark episode.
Unsubscribed after twenty minutes of the Raiders of the Lost Ark Episode.
The kid sounds adorable.

Ok, I changed from 1 star to 3 because I deeply admire and respect anyone who endeavors to make an Atari podcast.
Love this show! Bill brings a very funny and relaxed brand of humor to the episodes, as well as a great revisit to each game. Highly recommended!
