Was a bit sad when Neil left, but it's still a better show than the retro hour 👌
Podcast Addict52 days agodoktoro- Absolutely perfect
As someone who started on a ZX80 then ZX81 through ViC 20 then Atari ST I have maintained a strong interest in retro games and computers. I have listened to many retro podcasts but this one is way ahead. Content and presentation is extremely well done and caused me to go to Patreon to give proper recognition of all of the passion and effort put in by the presentation team. Well done!
