The listeners emailed us a ton of fun random questions.

We'd love to thank Zach, our listeners, all the sites that we read news from, and anyone keeping retrogaming alive.

We'd also like to thank all other other retro podcasts out there.

And of course, the musicians that created our new bumpers:
