April 10, 2018 An interview with John W. Linville about CoCoFEST! 2018
We're two weeks away from the 27th annual "Last" Chicago CoCoFEST! and John W. Linville and the CoCo Crew have been one of the loudest megaphones to promote this event in the past few years. There's a lot to be excited about with CoCoFEST! in general, and a lot more this year, so we'll hear from John, did a little into his history and current activities in the retro community, and hear some new and improved changes that are taking place at CoCoFEST! this year! Are you excited about CoCoFEST!

March 31, 2018Episode 51 - shortest show ever?
The live version of this show was one of our shortest ever, but the podcast version has some bonus content, just for your listening pleasure!
I'm very pressed for time today due to other obligations this afternoon, so we're going to have a very short CoCoTALK! probably an hour. We'll get straight to the meat and potatoes, hear about any project updates, a possible brief news segment, then check in with the latest on CoCoFEST! as well as chat with the panel our our viewers. We'll have a somewhat "special" announcement to make, too. See you @ 2PM today!
On the panel: Allen Huffman, Bill Nobel, Grant Leighty, Jason the CoCo Man, Bruce Moore, David Ladd, Curtis Boyle, Mark Overholser, NIck Marentes, Ron Delvaux, Steve Bjork
