Remembering Yugoslavia

A Galaksija Not So Far Away


Listen Later

Do you remember that time in the early days and weeks of the pandemic when you picked up a new hobby? You baked bread. You gardened. You crocheted. You refurbished furniture. You wrote a novel. You created a podcast... Vlado Vince built a Yugoslav computer. 

The little Galaksija, an 8-bit computer created by Voja Antonić that enthusiasts built themselves using instructions published in 1983 in Yugoslavia’s first computer magazine, had an enormous impact on Yugoslavia’s IT industry. And, like other 80s tech around the world, the Galaksija has enjoyed a revival in recent years. 

This is the story of the DIY Yugoslav computer and its enduring legacy.

With Voja Antonić, Jenny List, Dejan Ristanović, and Vlado Vince. Featuring the tracks "Galaksija iz 80a" and "Testarossa" by Detective Spook.


The Remembering Yugoslavia podcast explores the memory of a country that no longer exists. Created, produced, and hosted by Peter Korchnak. New episodes two to three times per month.
