News From Kay To Zee - This Week In Retro 262
It's taken too long to get prominent retro podcaster and archivist @KaySavetz (ANTIC, Eaten By a Grue, Internet Archive, and more) on the show! On this bonus-sized episode Kay joins Dave and Jason as we take a deeper look at 1990s nostalgia and the loss of multi-format cover art giant Philip Castle, and chart the dramatic rise and hard fall of Iomega's Zip drives. And for the sake of equal time, Kay presents a news brief involving source code hidden away on SyQuest media.
All this, your picks for a gaming industry legend you'd like to spend an hour with, and more in This Week in Retro 262!
