  • One of the best podcasts about retrocomputing (!) A bunch of old guys discussing the computers they loved in their youth, the ones they couldn't afford to buy in their youth, the ones they've bought recently to relive their youth and the modern accessories that stop them being as bad as they really were back in their youth. A truly glorious podcast that will have nodding in agreement, howling at errors (Zee X Spectrum???) and buying old tech from eBay to relive your youth. Awesome guys 11/10!

  • Awesome!

    I love this podcast and David, Carrington and Earl are great to listen to. David is a great guy (I've met him in person), Carrington has a great sense of humor and Earl is a fount of retro computer knowledge. Give this a listen; you won't regret it!

  • This is _the_ podcast for retro computing

    This is my favourite podcast about retro computing by far. The three hosts are knowledgeable, interesting and funny. They cover all kinds of topics but mostly the micro's of the 70's and 80's. A must listen!

  • Best of the Best!

    What do you get when you combine Retrobits, 1Mhz, and History of the Personal Computer? This fantastic look at our beloved computers from the past. It's like being transported to the days when computers were these mysterious boxes that were limited only by our imaginations.
