The C64 Take-away podcast

Summer is here! To celebrate I turned off the A/C, closed all the windows and sat down to bring you yet another electic mix of C64 remixes and chiptunes. Apologies in advance for the sound quality on my speaking parts. I was forced to relocate to a different part of the house, and that turned out to be less than ideal.

On a lazy Sunday morning in December, what was supposed to be a quick microphone test ended up as an entire episode. Stay tuned to discover if a certain tune gets to close the show for the 7th time since 2005.

Being a man of my word, here’s the second of the two episodes that I promised to release before the end of 2019, should the “8-Bit Symphony Pro” kickstarter fund. Enjoy!

On the final day of the 8-Bit Symphony Pro kickstarter, at 83% funded with little under 5 hours left on the clock, I posted a message on twitter saying:

“If the 8-Bit Symphony Pro kickstarter funds, I solemnly vow to create at least two episodes of the #C64 Take-away before 2019 comes to an end. Think of it as crowdfunding the podcasts with all the proceeds going to professional symphonic recordings.”

And it did fund, so here we are. Episode 54. Whether or not you are one of the people who helped fund this because of my tweet – Thank you for being a part of this awesome community!

First episode in what feels like forever (according to Wolfram|Alpha it’s been 4 years, 5 months and 3 days).  In return for your patience this episode clocks in at a little over an hour, so expect the usual C64-related music goodness, hand-picked for your listening pleasure. Apologies in advance for any mispronunciations I made on the show. And if I don’t sound as cheerful as usual, it’s because I was really focused on the recording process.

Thanks to everyone who kept the faith and stayed tuned over the years.

As mentioned on this episode, the podcast is back on iTunes after being removed for undisclosed reasons. So in order to help new people discover these great tunes, I’d really appreciate it if you rate and review the show on iTunes.
