December 26, 2020 YDKF Episode 196: Christmas Part II
Merry Christmas, seasons greetings, and happy holidays! On this episode of You Don't Know Flack I go back to the well and come up with even more Christmas and holiday-related memories.
Here's a link to the first Christmas (and New Year's) episode of You Don't Know Flack, posted back in 2014.

December 25, 2020 BONUS: Home Alone Christmas Spectacular Megashow

I hope you like this wacky Christmas crossover show featuring Boat and Aaron from the Amigos, Aaron and The Brent from ARG Presents, Cody, Eric and Tim from Pixel Gaiden, and myself.

December 18, 2020 Sprite Castle 051: THEC64 Maxi
On this episode of Sprite Castle I take a look at the newly released THEC64 Maxi, the full-size Commodore computer from Retro Games Limited. I talk about the settings, the built-in games, and playing downloaded games. I also talk about what a pain in the butt it was to acquire one in North America, and compare it to everything from a Raspberry Pi to an FPGA-based MiST and an Ultimate 64 to help people decide if this product makes sense for them.

December 12, 2020 YDKF Episode 195: Shelves
On this slightly odd episode of You Don't Know Flack, I take a look at my infatuation with shelves -- the first sets of shelves I owned, how I learned to build my own shelves, and the website I once set up dedicated to display shelves.

November 29, 2020 YDKF Episode 194: Crossroads Mall
As a kid, the period of time between Thanksgiving and Christmas was spent making Christmas wish lists, and many of the entries on those lists came from window shopping at the mall. Tune in to hear about the birth of one of then largest malls in America, my memories of shopping there, and the event that marked the mall's demise.

November 13, 2020 YDKF Episode 193: Puppets
After a stressful week of work and election headlines, I decided to pick a light topic. On this week's episode, I'll be discussing puppets -- the ones I owned as a kid, the influence the Muppet Movie had on me, the most expensive puppet I ever owned, and what became of my paltry puppet collection.
