Welcome to the 7th episode of the 15th season of the Retroist Podcast. Today’s episode is all about the toys from the seventies sci-fi classic, The Six Million Dollar Man.
This episode was a surprise to me. I had recorded a section about toys during my Six Million Dollar Man podcast. When I listened back to it, I had two problems.
The segment was too long to be a part of a podcast.
I didn’t like the flow. It was missing something.
So when I released the episode, I removed most of the discussion of toys outside my initial story and thought I would try to rerecord. This episode is the result of my efforts.
It is slightly different from my standard podcast in that I mostly discuss the toys. So a little but more opinion and a lot more retro audio. I hoped you find it as fun to listening to it as I did putting it together.
The show starts with a little discussion about something I content with as a collector, “what do we hold onto?” Then I move into the toys!

Production Notes
This is episode 280 of the Retroist Podcast.
Music on the show is, as always, by Peachy.
7th episode of the new season.
This, like many episode this season was not planned. This episode was supposed to be Alien Nation.
It is a follow-up or companion podcast to my Six Million Dollar Man episode.
I covered The Bionic Woman a few years ago.
I had more about The Bionic Woman in this episode, but cut it all out since I had covered it earlier.
Removed about a minute from the story segment where I have other examples of toys I dumped over the years.
Thanks for listening to the show and I hope you have a great weekend.
