GrumpyOZRetro Ep#004 - Chris (005 AGIMA, Perth Amiga User Group)
GrumpyOZRetro - Australian vintage computing and retrogaming podcastShow Notes
One of our favourite British-Australian YouTubers, Chris from 005 AGIMA and This Week in Retro, drops in for a chinwag. We had a lot of fun, and Chris has plenty to talk about.
Craig's Man Pad Saga continues, we weigh in on the big news surrounding Atari's latest acquisition, and thanks to a keen listener we spend some time contemplating one of the most contentious issues in retro today.
Don't forget you can hit us up at grumpyozretro.com if you've got something to say, as well as the comments feed on this episode over on the OzRetrocomp YouTube channel.
Thanks for listening and stay retro.
Craig & Tony
