  • I listen to a bunch of retro gaming podcasts and this is my favorite. It's very humorous and nostalgic. The only downside is that it's a bit difficult to figure out how to skip the news section sometimes. I'm just here for the old games I'm not interested in new ones.

  • Mashed Potatoes

    Great show. Lots of fun every week going back to the games we played as kids.

    And yes I absolutely get the mashed potatoes reference. We have mashed potatoes here in North America too. We also have chips (you may know them as crisps) and fries (I believe you call these chips) and baked potatoes. They are such an amazing root vegetable. They can be boil or mashed or even put into a stew, and they are always delicious. Good pull sir. Keep up the great work
