Retroist Podcast – Episode 100 – Atari 2600

The Retroist — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 17:00:04 +0000

Today’s episode is a milestone in Retroist Podcast history, The 100th episode. Hard to believe, but here it is. To celebrate number 100, we are covering a subject near and dear to my heart, the Atari 2600 (VCS). We talk about how it was made, some of the folks involved, its rise and fall, the games and much much more.

To help celebrate 100 episodes, I worked with Christopher Tupa, the original Retroist Podcast Artist, on a poster for the show. I am still trying to decide if this would be worthwhile to have printed up and sold on the site. As always, opinions are welcome.

metagirl joins the show again for a game-centric top5 list and music on the show was provided by Peachy, if you have musical need, why not contact Peachy at peachy@retroist.com.

Fog Art from 1981 by Todd Franklin of Neato Coolville

On today’s show we talk all about the legendary horror film, John Carpenter’s The Fog. We talk about how it was made, the people behind it, the cast, the remake and much much more. Halloween season is coming to end, so it is a good time to sit down and watch a good horror film, I can suggest no finer film to kick end the season (‘cept Halloween).

The above art was crafted was back in 1981 by Todd Franklin of Neato Coolville. It makes me happy when I look at it.
