  • I love this show! I recently fell in love with the ZX Spectrum and this podcast has been a primary source for learning about the British perspective on the speccy (where other podcasts are long dormant or hosted by Americans). I am enjoying learning more about the era of microcomputers and the British experience of retro gaming.

  • Best retro gaming podcast

    Tuned into my first RGDS podcast and picked a great one, episode 300 and loved it. The guys are so knowledgeable and really know their games well and have a wide variety of specialities. Their passion really shows through and Kingy telling stories from his childhood really makes it a very stand out, relatable and enjoyable podcast. Well done guys will be listening to many more.
