These interviews are THE standard for classic arcade gaming. Nothing else I have heard comes close.
All three interviewers are tremendously knowledgeable and consummate professionals. With scarcely a gram of self-indulgence that plagues so many podcasts.
The subjects and content of these interviews is a priceless resource for those of us interested in preserving this grand era.
I could not be more grateful to the gents responsible.
Bravo and keep the interviews coming!
This is by far the best arcade podcast ever. Insightful interviews with the people responsible for the 1980s arcade game phenomenon.

Awesome podcast covering the golden age of arcade gaming. I really like the fact that the team of presenters are so well informed and they have top tier guests to interview. I'm always happy when I see a new episode is released. Keep up the good work guys!
These are among the best interviews with video game industry legends I’ve ever heard. Pick any single episode to listen to, and you will learn so much about the creative process, teamwork, the evolution of technology and the golden age of Atari and other coin operated video game companies.
