“This is a great monthly (or so) podcast about the happenings in Atari computing from the 80s. They cover some history, new discoveries and products and the fan community.
As someone who never used an Atari computer I enjoy listening anyway. So that’s an endorsement if there ever is one.
My only...”Read full review »

“When I first started listening to this podcast, I was just searching for the first time for anything related to Atari. I was pleasantly surprised that I found one and that it had recently started. That was nearly 10 years ago!
I am especially encouraged listening to the interviews. I was glad...”Read full review »

“Thanks to the guys at the Antic podcast and the subliminal messages telling me to buy Atari (at least that’s how I’m explaining it to my wife)I went from having 0 Atari 8-bit computers (had an 800xl as a teenager) to now owning an 800 that looks like a junk yard dog bit the corners off, an 800xl...”Read full review »

“The podcast is a joy to listen to. I learn new things every show and relive great memories. I put my 130xe away years ago because floppies and hardware were getting scarce. I will be setting it back up now that I know about all the new hardware that makes this wonderful machine useful again....”Read full review »

“Wonderful information and the interviews make the show a really interesting listen. The only constructive criticism I would give is that they seem to avoid discussion of Atari's 16-bit machines and game systems during interviews. While I realize it is an 8-bit-centric podcast, I am interested...”Read full review »

“I highly recommend listening to all 200+ interviews to anyone working in a once high-flying Silicon Valley darling now on the rocks. It will remind you that there will come a 30-years-later perspective eventually, that everyone lands and settles somewhere after the workforce disperses in chaos,...”Read full review »
