Since February, I’ve been appearing on episodes of Retronauts, a long-running retro gaming podcast traditionally hosted by Jeremy Parish and Bob Mackey. Retronauts traces its origins to the now defunct 1UP.com, but it has moved along with Jeremy wherever he goes.<\/p>\n
And that includes a move across the country: About five years ago, Jeremy relocated to sunny Raleigh, NC from San Francisco. After resigning from his editor-in-chief position<\/a> at USGamer.net late last year, Jeremy decided to rely on Patreon<\/a> to fund Retronauts as a full-time project.<\/p>\n Fortunately, I am a Raleigh native, and I still live here. So the Retronauts East roster includes both myself and Ben Elgin<\/a>, a Hillsborough, NC software engineer and a veteran of Jeremy’s Gamespite<\/a> forums.<\/p>\n Since then I’ve been on five episodes (with another micro episode on the way), and it’s been a blast. Jeremy is a gin aficionado<\/a>, and we typically drink a gin and tonic before or during the show, which is why you may hear high-resolution ice clinking in the background.<\/p>\n Here’s a run-down of the episodes I’ve appeared on so far:<\/p>\n Episode 87: Apple II Games<\/a> There’s more to come. So stay tuned and enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since February, I’ve been appearing on episodes of Retronauts, a long-running retro gaming podcast traditionally hosted by Jeremy Parish and Bob Mackey.

There’s only one problem: Bob Mackey is still located on the west coast, and Jeremy can’t afford to fly out there every time he wants to record a show. So while Bob still creates episodes on the west coast, Jeremy started up a “Retronauts East” wing of the show featuring a local crew of regulars.<\/p>\n
