This episode I meet and chat with Glenn from Pixel Crib, and Australian based globally shipping online store that focus's primarily on gaming soundtracks with the emphasis being on Vinyl LP and Compact Disc (CD).

Glenn tells how he went from collector to online vendor just wanting to share his fascination and love for gaming soundtracks with the wider public. From packaging on his kitchen table back in 2016 to now having a contractor collect his daily shipments from his business specific warehouse premises shipping all sorts of amazing and often rare and unique soundtrack merchandise both domestically and across the globe. We discuss the music the art and the just 'having' of this amazing media.

This episode we chat with Sam Dyer the founder, creator and visionary behind 'Bitmap Books' an absolutely outstanding must have library of quality books that highlight the art and history of retrogaming. Sam shares the origin story of the company and his personal experience on what it takes to get out of the everyday work/life rut and put your time and sacrifice in to something that means something to you.

Utlizing absolutley gorgeous art and graphic design the library spans from the Commodore 64 right through the ages profiling the library of most of the common retro consoles and branching out to cover some slightly obscure subjects purely to fullfill Sam's personal wishlist of books he would want to own and read.

You can find out all about 'Bitmap Books' below using the included links and easily find a way to get one or more of Sam's incredible creations on your coffee table or in your bookshelf.

This episode we chat with John Pansini from the 'Game The System' podcast. John is one of those retrogamers that is willing to roll the dice and learn on the fly in the name of preservation. We talk in depth (to the best of our limited knowledge) about CRT televisions (cathode ray tube). Basic maintnence and fault finding...some safety tips for new players.... and how the CRT really is the hub of any retrogamers collection and gaming life. We also chat about John's small but specific collection of arcade machines and what it means to be a small but active machine operator having machines out there in the wild for the public to enjoy and experience.

We also touch on a new and maybe contraversial arcade game record keeping and management system that the guys from 'Game The System' have developed rivalling the likes of Twin Galaxies etc.

You can find out all about this and more on the 'Game The System' podcast page linked below along with many other great resources including a very supportive and active Discord open to all.

We're back baby... I've spooled up the 4 track and donned the noise muffs and to kick it back in to gear I chat with Johnny aka 'Retrogamerx1987'. Since we last chatted back in March 2022 Johnny has added a few department store kiosk displays to his SECOND room and its crazy. I go into my love for the Sega Saturn which started thanks to Johnny last time we spoke. We also talk about the challenges of adding more to the retrogaming collections of your childhood and just collecting all sorts of merch and the curse of just kinda wanting everything. Johnny really does have an amazing collection spanning from Sega Master System through all the Playstations, all the Xbox's and a huge amount of retro Sega specfically Saturn and Dreamcast (drool drool drool).
