I am proud to announce the premier of the Retroist Podcast. Today’s show is all about one of my favorite pop culture icons, “The Rubik’s Cube”. During the show we mention some fun facts about the Magic Cube, listen to some great old commercials and of course discuss the “Rubik, the Amazing Cube” animated series.
If you have any suggestions for topics you would like for me to cover in the future, email them to me at theretroist@gmail.com. You can click the player below to listen to the show directly from the site or you can use the subscription button below to add the show to your favorite news reader or podcast software. Enjoy the show.

A couple years ago I saw a guy at FAO Schwartz solving the Rubik’s Cube in a couple minutes, while talking on a headset to the audience. He sounded like the announcer for the Micro Machines commercials.

It would be AWESOME if this was a video with the podcast over the background. Maybe something like what That Guy With the Glasses does.
