After a long hiatus, we're back! We don't have anything specific to announce or regular content on the way just yet, but stay tuned for more. RGA will resume in some capacity, with Jeffrey Roberts joining as a permanent member.

Intro-less version of this episode can be found here, and as always downloads are enabled to be able to listen outside of soundcloud:

Patrick would like to thank Alex Menchi again for providing most of the Amiga rips used in this playlist; His archive has been incredibly helpful in discovering more Amiga tunes we weren't previously familiar with.
